The Lorchwuir Heath is less claustrophobic than the forest but hardly less dangerous bandits lie in ambush to attack unprepared caravans on the way to Karthwasten, whilst wild beasts and worse roam the low fields and skulk in their caves. Banished to Dragonstar, a thane governs in her place over a city that has almost as many secrets as it does traders.īeyond the city limits lies Karthwasten County.
Conquered in a bloody siege decades ago, the peace between native Redguards and conquering Nords has been an uneasy one something not helped by the actions of the impetuous King-appointed Jarl, Jona the Ansei-Ender. Beyond the edge of the Vorndgad Forest, where the trees thin out and the Karth River’s source can be seen, lies Karthwasten, the most sprawling and prosperous city in The Reach.
