Kingdom of The Reach

The Reach
The Reach is perhaps the most peaceful and culturally rich regions of the Vandimion Empire. Its territories stretches from the coast in the west to the mountains and rivers in the far east. The region is thin and seems squeezed between West March to the north and Merrhen to the east. However, do not let that fool you. The nature of this land is beautiful and serene. Large, green meadows as far as the eye can see where all things can grow.

The abundance of growth makes The Reach the trade capital of the western side of the continent. Its large port in the city of “Lost Harbour” serves as the empires largest tradeport. Smaller tradeports and city states can be found all along the coast, and the sea littered by tradeships big and small.

After the large wars that has ravaged the kingdoms this region is now seeing an economic boom, and its people are notoriously well off and happy. Speaking of the people; The Reach has mostly a population of humans but it also sees a large and growing population of halflings and gnomes who thrive in the warmer, more forgiving and peaceful climate the land has to offer - and these races are welcomed with open arms by the king.

It is said that The Reach breeds the best horses in Vandimion, and so supplies the best cavalry to the Empires growing armies - although the king of the region is less than enthusiastic to the idea of spending time and gold on wars in the time of such abundance and peace.

Politically the Region remains loyal as ever to the Empire, however its king is notorious for his political views of wanting to benefit the people and is known for his ability to stand up to the Emperor, mostly because of his own domination of the Empires food supply.
