The Lokenmoor

The Lokenmoor is a region of rugged hilly uplands (interspersed with some relatively low, rolling mountain ranges) in east-central Rhydain, lying south of the middle Helvander valley, northeast of Rhyndara, and west of the Tythian Massif. Some would consider it part of the larger Taefemach region; others would say it is the northernmost part of Alondria; others still would consider it a distinct area of its own which forms part of the mountainous barrier separating the two regions. The native people of the Lokenmoor are the Lokes (obviously the root of the region's name), and for their part, they see themselves as having little in common with either the Alondrians or the people of the Helvander. To them, all lowlanders are soft and effete, whether they live in the river valley to the north or the coastal plains away to the south.
The geographical region of the Lokenmoor is nearly coterminous with the Lokenthaal, the collection of self-governing Lokish communities outside the domain of any greater power. The two terms may be used more or less interchangeably for the land of the Lokes.
