Pelenaia

Pelenaia is a region of fertile low-lying country in southern Orithea, centered around the River Mera and the lower (or eastern) part of its drainage basin. It is bounded to the north by the rising vantage-lands of Suagirea, to the south by the Dranurian massif, and to the east by the shores of Throne's Bay and the Saulean Sea. In the west, Pelenaia gradually narrows with the valley of the upper Mera, rising to the rugged highlands that form the foothills of the Jackal's Fangs. 
Pelenaia and the Lower Mera form the heartland of the Phyridian Empire, where it first rose over a thousand years ago in the aftermath of the Great Cataclysm. The imperial capital of Amran is located here, on the banks of the Mera, as are several other important cities of the empire, most notably Dauzhan. Almost the whole Pelenaian countryside is given over to wheatfields and orchards, with smaller towns and countless farming villages scattered densely between the big cities. It is a very agriculturally productive region and its bounteous harvests are needed to feed the teeming populations of those cities.
