Golden Coast

The farmers who call these rolling hills their home value their independence and a free market above all else. There is no official government of the Golden Coast; rather, a Lord Justice is appointed by the landowners to oversee fair trade and peace throughout the land, and each farmer must pledge his second son to serve the land under the watch of the Lord Justice in Fort Autumn. Relied upon for most of the realm’s food production, the Golden Coast once boasted the most fertile soil in all the Evenfall; however, disease and famine, caused by a sudden withering of the Eastern River, have left the realm in perpetual decline. An expedition team sent into the Mithril Mountains to discover the source of the drought never returned.
