The Uplands

The Uplands is a stretch of Alterac, nestled between the Alterac Mountains and the bordering mountains of the Western Plaguelands. It is a heavily-agrarian region, made up of farmers and plantations of the nobility; in addition, it is the hearth of the Old Faith of Alterac and the source of its resurgence.

History:
(( W.I.P. ))

Currently:
Given the vitality of the region in terms of agriculture and population, it is the heaviest-defended and most-routinely patrolled area of Alterac. Each Manor, County, Duchy, Barony and Village is palisaded or walled, garrisoned with the noble guards and personal retinues of the landed gentry.

Were an invader to attempt to seize this region, they would fight and bleed for every inch---laying siege to every bastion, one after another; such an effort would not only be costly, but would feel as if taking an entire empire and not a singular region of a kingdom.
