Editing Sylvania (section)

==Geography==
Huddled against the eastern edge of the World's Edge Mountains, and with a land further poisoned by generations of necromancy and [[warpstone]] showers, Sylvania is an inhospitable pit of a realm, arguably even worse than [[Norsca]]. Its close proximity to the mountains leads to bitterly cold, snowy winters, and grim, stormy summers, with icy winds ravaging the land throughout the year. Between sucking bogs, festering moors and dark tangled overgrowth forests lie plains covered in thin, near-useless soil that must be fertilized with peat dragged from the swamplands and sheep-haunted chalky hills.

The line between Sylvania and Stirland to the west has been redrawn every time independence has been declared; it has ranged from the edge of the Haunted Hills to the abandoned village of Murieste, and it currently stretches from the ruins of [[Mordheim]] down to the edge of Bylorhof Marsh. In the north, the River Stir provides a border with [[Ostermark]]. To the south Sylvania stops at a barren region historically claimed by [[Averland]], but currently held by [[Stirland]]; however, the haunted reputation of that place’s stinking marshes and fallow hills results in both Grand Provinces largely ignoring the area. Barrows and battlefields tend to decrease property values, and having a big standing stone that gives you headaches and makes you hear whispers would put anyone off of settling an otherwise convenient area. The south-western corner of Sylvania edges onto Mootland, a narrow border that is steadfastly patrolled by Halfling Fieldwardens.
