The Westerlands

“	The West is like a sword with no hilt: impossible to hold.	”
The Westerlands is a loose descriptor for an area of the continent of Magnia, west of Central Magnia. It extends inland from the Levanthian Sea, naturally bordered by the Wrynova River to the south and east and the Slatina River to the north. The Aral Highlands cut through the centre of the region and east of the highlands, the Great Magnian plain stretch into Central Magnia, while the lands west of the highlands consist of sodden marshes and swamps. 
The Westerlands are currently divided into five sovereign states: Magiore, Edierne, Attalan, Dolrath, and Skanesh.
==Culture==
The Westerlands are geographically and culturally isolated from its neighboring countries, at its nations are neither as rich, nor as technologically advanced as other nations of Magnia. This is partly due to the devastating dominance of the Golden Horde from the 1240's to the 1420s, disrupting local borders and hindering development, and partly because the west has served as a buffer zone and battlefield for many larger powers throughout history.
The people of the West are seen as a tough and stubborn folk, mistrustful of strangers and are known for their peculiar dark humor. Although there are communities to every major religion, the Westerlings are primarily atheist.
