The Lowlands

The Lowlands are a large area in the province of Valusia in the Valusian Sovereignty. The Lowlands are administered by the Duke Stan Morgan, who resides in the castle-town of Richen.

The people of the Lowlands are Milefolk by culture and ethnicity. They are commonly known as Marchmen.

History
The Lowlands have historically been the core of an ancient kingdom known as Riccia, which was founded by the legendary figure Moro Ghan. Moro Ghan was a Druid that led the defense of the Miles in the Lowlands against invasive Valusian warlords.The Miles crowned him their king, and his descendants continued to rule Riccia as the Order of Morgan.

The Lowlands were originally settled by Druids. Before the collapse of the Romasi Dominion, many Uccrans [that would become the Miles] migrated from Veldrala and established their own petty kingdoms. These would later be contested by Antharean warlords, and united under the Druidic King Moro Ghan.

The Kingdom of Riccia eventually became a part of a union with the Kingdom of Miltir and the Kingdom of Vestan, known as the Mile Country.

The Lowlands were integrated into the Governate of Crygnos under Lysofonian rule. After the revolt, the elected King Ildyr reorganized the Sovereignty and the Dukes of the Lowlands would answer directly to the King, rather than the Lord-Governor of the Mile Country.

Ecology
The Lowlands is home to a number of animals native to Crygnos, including the Valusian Varmint, a small fox-like canine. The Valley Hawk is native to the Lowlands, and does not migrate during winter.
