Middle-Earth

The North Downs are a landscape of high hills and gullies, covered in grass and dotted by many ruins. They stretch in a north-eastern direction for many leagues from where the Greenway ends, until they give way to the empty lone-lands running towards Angmar of old. Once the North Downs stood at the heart of a great kingdom, but these wild lands are now deserted, and all that is left are broken towers and crumbling walls. The region is not entirely devoid of life though, quite the contrary—wild hares and sheep roam the land, grazing on the lush grassland, and kestrels cross the sky searching for prey. If this place wasn't shunned as cursed, the North Downs would prove bountiful as a hunting ground.
