Eaglabree

Eaglabree is an area in The Lowlands province, which encompasses the Imperial county of Chrichheim. Found in the north of the province, it encompasses part of the major River Konig. 
The largest settlement in the area is the village of Specklechurch. There are, of course, other settlements and homesteads as well but these are mostly found around Specklechurch, meaning much of the area is unsettled wilderness.
== Geography ==
Eaglabree is characterised by its diverse geography, blending rolling hills with expansive lowland plains. The terrain is predominantly composed of lush, green pastures interspersed with dense woodlands, especially along the banks of the River Konig. This river, a major waterway in the Empire, meanders through Eaglabree, providing fertile soil. The climate is temperate, with mild summers and cool, wet winters. Rain is very frequent. The unsettled wilderness of Eaglabree is punctuated by rocky outcrops and occasional marshlands.
== Economy ==
Eaglabree's economy is primarily agrarian, with a strong emphasis on farming and livestock rearing. The fertile plains near the River Konig are ideal for growing crops such as barley, oats, and turnips, while the surrounding pastures support herds of sheep and cattle. Small-scale fishing also contributes to the local economy, particularly along the river. Additionally, Eaglabree is known for its modest but skilled blacksmithing and weaving industries, with craftsmen producing goods that are traded up and down the River Konig to nearby villages and towns. The woodlands provides timber for building and fuel, while occasional peat bogs offer a source of peat for heating.

=== Flora ===
Eaglabree boasts a rich and varied flora, reflective of its diverse landscapes. The woodlands are home to ancient oaks, elms, and birches, whose canopies create a consistent shade where ferns, mosses, and wildflowers thrive. The riverbanks of the Konig are lined with willows and alders. In the pastures and meadows, wild grasses and heather are abundant, creating a patchwork of purples and greens in the summer months. Herbalists in the area often forage for medicinal plants like comfrey, yarrow, and mugwort, which are found in the more secluded parts of the wilderness. In the darker, marshy areas, eerie plants like ghostly white bog myrtle and carnivorous sundews can be found.
=== Fauna ===
Eaglabree's forests are home to red deer, foxes, and badgers, while the open fields and pastures support populations of hares and rabbits. Birds such as pheasants, grouse, and hawks are commonly seen, and the River Konig teems with fish like trout and salmon, attracting otters and kingfishers to its banks. The darker, marshy areas of Eaglabree are inhabited by amphibians such as newt, frogs, and the more elusive bittern. Livestock, including sheep and cattle, unsurprisingly, are a more common sight in the agricultural parts of the area. However, the presence of wolves and wild boars in the more remote areas adds an element of danger to those caught unawares.
=== Atypical Species ===
Like all parts of Magnula, there are various kinds of creature that live here that don't conform to typical bestial classifications. Around the River Konig and in the more settled parts of Eaglabree, Water Weirds and corrupted Dryads provide a threatening force. This provides adventurers with a near-constant stream of work. This pales in comparison to the unsettled parts, however, where all kinds of creature can be found. Most notably clans of Redcaps, sadistic goblin-like humanoids, are said to be found here.
