Vester Hills

A region of hills within the lands of Vester in the Empire of Eskarya.
== Description ==
Within the Vester Hills following the first Mind Flayer invasion, the lands appeared salted and dead, due to the poison of the Demon Lords seeping throughout the lands. The hills looked more like that of low and underdeveloped mountains due to the lack of flora and fauna within the region.
Following the end of the Demon Lord threat, life began to grow once more, as the hills sprouted grass and flora, trees would grow once more and wildlife that migrated from the lands slowly but surely returned. The Vester Hills became infamous in Eskarya following the assault on The Sanctuary, a hospital for the mentally ill in Old Elysia, that had become the base of operations for the Demon Lords, their messengers and armies. With the knowledge that the Vester Hills was the home to a prison that kept The Dark End in chains, few dared travel the roads through the hills, preferring to travel via Ezofield or Port Kolsa when travelling north.
== Valley of Death ==
With few travelling the road through the centre of the Vester Hills, it became home to remaining forces of the Demon Lords, with Orcs, Gnolls, Goblins, Ogres and Oni establishing camps in the hill of Vester. As the fastest route from Vester to Badengatt, it is uncommon, but not rare, for caravans and small forces of mercenaries to travel the path. The mercenaries are sorely needed, for the creatures of Vester Hills prey upon its travellers and merchants who dare walk the path.
It is not just monstrous races that dwell within the hills, but criminals and heathens who wish to evade the zealous reach of the Empire and Templars of Zitus. As few dare search for their bounties and quarries in the Vester Hills, these vagabonds and criminals need only worry about the Orcs and Goblinoids within the hills en route to escape Eskarya.
