Carmelyn Steppes region in the
Republic of Northumbria.
Description
The largest and most sparsely populated of all the regions of
Northumbria, The
Carmelyn Steppes spreads out along the south and east of the province, below the
Arkdün Wilds.
History
Previously known as the Plains of Eutopia, Eutopia was the name of a human kingdom that spanned the western edge of modern-day
Northumbria province. Ruled by a reportedly incestuous family of nobles, Eutopia was a righteous and cliquish country centered around the city of Thyatis. At its height in the late 9200s, Eutopia had among its vassals the Kingdom of Aeliyn, the Principality of Beryl, the County of Lacoria and was involved in a loose confederation with the rival Aelyrian fiefdoms of
Kaldira and Camena. Eutopia was annexed by Aelyria following Emperor Constantine's marriage with High Queen Jaedah of Aeliyn, as a part of her dowry. Recently the region has come to be termed the
Carmelyn Steppes, an acknowledgment of the province's former name of Carmelyn.
