The Neck

The Neck, also known colloquially as The Throat, or The Narrowlands, is a geographical region in the mid-south of Truyea, from Maria and Arar in the north to the city of Resh in the south. It encompasses an area of almost 90,000 square kilometres and is known as a region of historical strategic importance, due in part to its narrow landmass and marshland terrain. 
Geographically, The Neck has a temperate, mild climate comprised mainly of grasslands and small mountain ranges, with elevation mostly in the south of The Neck and peat bogs in the west and northwestern points. It is bordered by the Lowlands to the northeast, the Middlelands to the west, and the Sunlands to the south. The Neck is the native ancestral home of the Duscadorian people, who lived in the region as far as 5000 years ago before migrating south almost two millenia later.
Politically, The Neck separates Duscador in the south from the Empire of Sevicia in the north and the Middle Kingdoms in the west. The Candar Line represents an unofficial northern boundary between The Neck and the Lowlands. The island of Rosh, known for its incredibly active volcanoes, is geographically a part of The Neck, though not part of the contiguous landmass proper. The largest city in the region is Resh, home to a quarter million inhabitants, to the south, which served as the capital of the Roni Republic for almost 300 years. The people of The Neck are known unofficially as Narrowlanders.
