=== GEOGRAPHY ===
The geography of the fertile peninsula, officially referred to as 'Baaldwins Bridge' is a warm flat area ideal for farming, the area generally consists of rolling forests full of coniferous trees as well as long strips of grassy plains adjacent to the coast.
=== BIOLOGY/ETHNICITY ===
The peasants that inhabit the peninsula have no abnormalities about them. They speak various tongues and come from various small fractured tribes and clans. All the peasants speak a common tongue, typically referred to as Baaldish.
=== HISTORY ===
The peasants that came to inhabit this peninsula are descendants of a much larger territory that used to exist northwards some 400 years ago. Colonies were established, and trade with the natives flourished until a crippling sickness struck the second generation into the colony. Port cities died off and the colonies were considered dead by the motherland. Without support, the colonies fractured into villages and foreign blood became completely indoctrinated by the locals. Recent genetic science suggests the illness exists in the bloodlines of the locals today.
=== SOCIETY ===
Although there are too many small societies to count, the general way of life is ruled by a Chief, who reigns over his local farmers. Their class structure exists in a hierarchy, with peasants living a mediocre life supporting merchants and soldiers. Although chiefs are generally isolated in their communities, their exists a chieftain council that meets yearly to make decisions of policy such as trade or war.
=== CULTURE ===
The people of Baaldwins Bridge live plain lives, and therefore appreciate things of utility. People who relive work through machines such as threshers hold an almost godlike status. The people who work such machines are known as machinists. Machinists are welcome anywhere and often leave behind information the the local people do not understand, but put to work anyways.
=== OCCURRENCE OF MAGIC ===
Magic is not native nor commonly known among the people of this region. It is feared in many of the cities. Magic users are seen as thieves, or common folk that are not trustworthy. Generally, a known magic user is expelled by locals or expelled from local markets churches, ect.
=== MAJOR EXPORTS/IMPORTS ===
Baaldwins Bridge is home to fertile land and a host of crops, ranging from beans to wheat to oranges. The locals have a surplus of food, but dreadful standards of living, and will take luxury materials such as china, glass, wood, or stone.
