The Western Reach

Part of a series about Arginese geography.

• The Iseur Valley
• The Summer Coast
• The Eastern Reach and Fiveways
• The Lowen Valley
• The Northlands
• The Western Reach
• The Interior

The rolling countryside of the western coast is a land of small farms and roaming herds of sheep. Not as important to the kingdom’s trade as the Summer Coast, it is still a prosperous region.

The people of the Western Reach have a reputation for being the most staunchly, traditionally Arginese. The Crown enjoys strong support here from all classes.

Notable features

Aulin

Once a small market town, Aulin has sprawled over the centuries into the surrounding fields and meadows, spreading along the roads and even swallowing up a few small villages. Although not the most populous city in Arginet it is certainly the largest in area.

Accordingly, is rather less crowded than most other cities and towns; fields and paddocks reach inward toward the centre, and there are even a few parks set aside by local nobles for the public good. It is also noted for the many windmills turning in the sea breeze.

The real wealth of Aulin comes from the farms of the Reach. It is a hub of trade in wool, grain, meat, vegetables, and many other products of the land. It has not been immune from the troubles of the Breaking, and the difficulty of defending the city has become apparent, but so far the locals (of every social class) have shown real courage and determination in fighting off the worst of the horrors.
