Westwold is a flat rural province within the Burrows. It is mainly a farming community but much of the land to the north on its border with Rheulgard is covered in forests.

[top]The Land

Westwold is the true centre of the the industry of the Burrows. With widespread farming and production centres, this is where the wealth is generated. Many of the businesses are either allied with the major estates or only deal with the local markets. The land is marked by fields marked with stone and wicker fences, hedges and dirt roads.

The forest to the north is used for timber but some landowners want to tame it and add to their estates. There are trade trails north to Beuraben in Rheulgard or west to Erystwyth of the Coulladaraight, but they are not as regularly travelled as those to Sendoure. In fact, with there being no clear border between those lands and the Burrows, the ownership of the lands in the forest are not always agreed upon.

[top]Settlements

Many of the workers live in small villages on the estates in which they work. The main markets and trading centres are in the three major towns - Jansonsten, Bailey-by-the-Bye and Postingate.
