The Warlands

The Warlands comprised the northernmost continent of Maia. The capital cities were Burnia and Lethia and the region was bordered by The Central Wastes to the south, Ishra Ocean and The Ibasca to the east and The Dark Sea to the west.

Geography
This grey, rainy and mountainous land was torn for many centuries leading up to the Ely invasion by war after war, the last of which was the Two Century War between the great military cities of Burnia in the west and Lethia in the east. These wars tore a vast scar of dead land down the centre of the Warlands, known as the Devlin Wastes, through which ran the Devlin River.

The towns to either side of the Wastes each supported their nearest city in the war, less through loyalty than through necessity for their own survival. The towns of Ironhall, Redwald, Arden, River Towers and Orfort were clustered around Burnia, while Blackholt, Bygold Tower and Minaton supported the larger city of Lethia. To the west, in the Dark Sea, was Ita Island, upon which rested the Warlands' third city, Itymna, and to the east, near the border with The Ibasca, were the towns of Lagwyn and Iblin. The other town of note in the Warlands was that of Trenchton, situated as it was in the heart of the wartorn Devlin Wastes.

Creatures
It is thought that Goblins and Norgins could probably be found in the mountains of the northern Warlands.

History
Two Century War, etc...

The Warlands never fell to the Ely. When the invasion reached their borders, the cities of Burnia and Lethia set aside their differences for the first time in centuries, bringing an end to the Two Century War to stand united against the Ely. They held them at bay for several years and were the only land in Maia left standing when The Gateway Between the Worlds﻿ was closed, leaving them to perish alongside their foe as their world slowly died (see the Fall of Maia).
