Greenlands

A vast swath of arable farmland on which relatively few trees grow. Sages are unable to explain why no forest has grown in the Greenlands in the past three centuries of men's history in the area — despite the fact that no efforts have been made to prevent forest growth, and that crops grow just fine if planted there. The governor of Threshold and the Prelate of Middenmark cooperate to keep a garrison stationed in the Greenlands, for this large area produces much grain and vegetables for the populations in the Northern Reaches.
