The Hinterland

The Hinterland is the term the inhabitants of the Airus region use for the east lands beyond the Mountains of Mourning. They don't know much about the area, as very few people ever care to go there. The mountains are very difficult to pass and the lands beyond more dangerous than the Airus region, and the Straights of Grabiner are rarely attempted. The city of Essentia is considered to be in the Hinterland, though it could more accurately be said to be in the Mountains of Mourning. Not much is known of its flora, fauna, or the culture of the people living in the Hinterland.
