Midlands

The Midlands is one of the three main regions in Nempur, It is also the most profitable region with each subregion being economically stable for its own exports. Redgrass Region, Sileri, and the Plateau are the subregions located in the Midlands.

## Redgrass Region

The Redgrass Region is the northwestern subregion of Nempur, known for its illicit trade of redgrass - a hallucinogenic drug that is grown throughout. The Redgrass Coast runs along the northern shores of the region.

## Sileri

Sileri is a subregion in the Midlands known for its Eri (silk) exports.

Yanobe is a port city known for its beautiful ancient Arcan architecture. Yanobe was the first and only Arcan settlement in Nempur, created during the Beast Invasion (BI). The city’s economy relies heavily on tourism, constantly marketing itself as the last Arcan settlement since most structures were destroyed throughout the terrafield after the Secession of Man.

On the western side of the Mineral Range is a mining city named Nyeupe. The city’s inhabitants are filled with ‘misplaced mountain people’ or people who can trace their ancestry back to the ancient tribes north of the Embrus Range in Mystos before the Big Shift. The city’s original name was Mountainside, but many call the inhabitants Nyeupe, meaning ‘misplaced’ in the Old Speech, changing the city’s name. No one knows how or why they are there.

Nanhi is a large city that harvests and exports Eri. Mulberry and Er’oth are Nanhi’s sister cities. The three cities all work closely together harvesting and exporting Eri. Mulberry is the sister city of Nanhai known for harvesting natural Eri. Er’oth is the smallest sister city of Nanhai known for harvesting dragline Eri.

Hidden on the eastern side of the Tail Peaks is Jokulsa, a small village that hosts the daunting Will of Potamoi, an ancient ritual where a participant rides the Swirling Stream into the Vortex. Those who survive can claim they have been blessed with Potamoi, the demi-god of rivers, will. The Will of Potamoi is considered one of the Five Magnificent Aqua Parks that are located throughout the terrafield.

At Silken Lake is the small city of Eyjara, known for its silken textiles made from the silk harvest around the region.

Papyli is located off the Taffeta Shores near the Mineral Range. The city mainly exports Eri via the sea and is known for its superb shipbuilding.

Antekia and Kiradi are both border cities near the Plateau. These cities work together to grow, harvest, and export copper hay, a feed that triples the growth of domesticated animals.

## The Plateau

The Plateau is a grassy region known for its main trade of domesticating animals.

Khenei is the largest city in the region where the Chapel of the Moon’s headquarters is located. The Libertines, a tribal council of seven families, run the city, creating an oligarchy city-state, however, the Libertines still work for the people and are well-loved and respected. Located on the First People’s Shore, it is believed that Khenei is one of the first human settlements on the terrafield. Domesticated animals from smaller cities are exported to Khenei since the city has dominated for centuries as the largest trading center in the Plateau.

The second-largest city in the Plateau is Qisa, located in the Viridian Fields. Sitting on the bank of the Curved Bed, the city has become known for its modest soybean exports.

Dehva, Avsiris, and Gesse are sister cities also located in the Viridian Fields, known for their economies of domesticated animals. Each city focuses on specific types of domestic animals. As a tourist attraction, each city has its domesticated animals graze freely outside the city walls, all protected by a group of devoted Shepherds. Dehva dedicates their fields to horses, camels, and oxen. Sheep, goats, and cattle graze the fields outside of Avsiris. Gesse utilizes the Etosha River and the Fowl Waterhole to domesticate the ever-popular companion birds such as parrots, canaries, and peacocks.

The small town south of Dehva named Oppo is quickly growing into a fourth sister city, boasting of the domestication of newer companionship animals such as foxes, monkeys, and skunks.

Hispid is a small city hidden within the Hispid Grotto. Historic flooding from high tides has forced the city into the air, coining the name the “Hanging City”. Natural growth flourishes within the grotto, bringing a gorgeous array of flowers and ivy twisting throughout the limestone cave. The natural aesthetic has made Hispid a popular travel destination throughout Nempur. After the introduction of the hanging baths, however, Hispid has exploded into a must-see destination throughout the terrafield.
