Wasicht

Wasicht, a region in the northwest of Dalkhrova, is a land where passions are easily inflamed and daggers are drawn with little provocation. Cut by the murky waters of the
upper Inde River, the open prairies stretch out largely unspoiled, broken only by the occasional farm, vineyard, or copse of trees. The oaks, redwoods, and maples burst into beautiful, fiery colors in autumn. Noisy flocks of crows and swallows soar over the lush landscape, darting to and fro in the warm breezes. The bulk of the region's population is concentrated in the bustling city of Ilvinda, but many folk also inhabit the numerous river villages, and even rural folk tend to live within an hour's ride of a settlement. Journeys through the wilderness are lonesome; travelers only rarely spy lone carts burdened with hay or casks or wine. Their only companions in the wilds are lean packs of wolves, which keep menacing pace with travelers for hours at a time.
Wasicht's buildings are tall with steeply gabled roofs tiled in black wooden shingles. Although plastered and painted a creamy dun color, most Wasichter structures have crumbling facades that expose the red brick underneath. Interiors are wooden, the staircases and rafters darkly stained and intricately carved with grapevine designs. Baroque towers, topped with charcoal-gray cupolas and grim statuary, tower above the grandest buildings. Wasicht's climate is temperate, although the realm boasts long, pleasant summers.
