The Barony of Amberwave is located on the west coast of Westfall. It is noted as being a agricultural and timber center for the realm. The Barony was named for the vast amount of wheat fields that are seen from the roads when travelers depart the Baronial Capital of Cold Harbor.

The Barony is also known for plentiful resources. The Timberwood Creek connects the City of Cold Harbor to the town of Miller's Hill. Farmers use the Timberwood Creek for irrigation purposes and also to ship grain to the City of Cold Harbor.
