Isilendor has many

Plains

spanning across the realms, the more notable ones being Delvheim and Braitheld. However, home to the biggest plains, would be Braitheld.

What is the plains?

Plains

are considered an large expanse of land that is primarily flat or has very little change in elevation. It is quite common for it be treeless.

Plains

occur in lowlands along valleys or at the base of mountains as coastal plains and as plateaus and uplands.

Now, don’t underestimate the plains as it is just as inhabitable as a forest and perhaps more so compared to a desert. Plains do have their own thriving wildlife and vegetation.
 

Weather Patterns

Within the

Plains

, it’s pretty much a mild climate all across year round. However, they do go through the seasons, having snow in the winter, sun and warmth in the summer and finally, rain in between the two or whenever the temperature fluctuates. The further north you go, the temperature may be higher than the average overall temperature, due to being so close the Akashi desert, the opposite goes for the further south, as it gets colder, towards the more mountainous areas of Braitheld.
 

Flora and Fauna

The more temperate plains, like grasslands, absolutely dominate in vegetation with highly fertile soil that can be used by local farmers to make a living. Flowers can bloom during the spring, creating an explosion of colours.

There’s more! A plentiful of animals inhabit this fertile habitat including small reptiles, mammals, insects, snails and so much more. With a broad variety of birds and bigger mammals such as wild horses.
 

The Plains of Braitheld

The Realm of Braitheld is full of bloodshed and war, in order to prove the ambition and determination of its people.

This is an extract from 'Blood and Iron: A Short History of Braitheld' by Navarre Elamoira:

The realm of men has grown and prospered for over two millennia and through spilled blood and centuries of war have proved that their ambition and determination will overcome even the direst of obstacles. Generations of war and strife have built hardened and courageous people that, despite their relatively young history, they have risen to be an immensely formidable force on the continent. While their history has, unfortunately, been a victim of their own admirable aspirations through war, the culture and networks of trade build by Braitheld have spread far beyond their borders. Perhaps a product of their shorter lives, the lives of men have spawned a rich and rapidly changing history. The desire to have their names etched in the annals of history, the men and women of Braitheld have spawned many legends in their time. But before you, a brief history of these noble people has been scribbled as an introduction to the realm of the grasslands…

The Crest of Braitheld was inspired by the many grasslands that encompass the realm, the flowers come from the natural wild spring flowers that populate Braitheld. The centerpiece of the stag skull a representation of the bloodshed and war from the people of Braitheld and their ambition and determination to get what they want. Some also theorise the stag skull is a representation of Asmundis, however, historians have never found a definite confirmation or denial.
