The enchanted plains of Ephren, the domain of Lord Adam Carthalion until the destruction of his army in the Battle of Aster Fall. Her people are allies to any who would defend Corondor from conqueror wizards. The Plains of Urlan, where bone is like silver, and Visionaries search the stars for signs. The land itself is sometimes rumoured to come to life, others would believe that an incredibly powerful nature spirit defends this territory. Ages of warfare have made this beautiful place deceptively dangerous. These historic battlefields now form the gateway to the lands of eastern Corondor.
