The Midlands region of
Maeve.
Description
The Midlands is the largest region of
Maeve, stretching from the border of
Medonia to the west, along the northern border with
Centripax, until it reaches the
Maevewood to the west. Known for it’s fertile plains and many wide rivers and streams that flow across the length and breadth of the region, to the
Bay of Queens and the city of
Port Alyxandrya.
History
The District had once been the Kingdom of
Daltina, long before the area had been annexed by the
Aelyrian Empire to form the province of
Enamoria. However in the time after the war against the
Xet, the province of
Enamoria was once again two, the eastern portion renamed The
District of Maeve, and the western part now known as the
Refuge of Medonia.
Geography
Terrain
The terrain of the Midlands is typified by rolling grasslands, numerous wide rivers and streams, and small stands of evergreen forests.
Climate
The climate within the Midlands is generally mild, due to the southern winds from the
Sea of Diana, and the agricultural growing seasons within the province are considered extended. The winters are generally mild and involve heavy precipitation, with snow and frost very uncommon. The summers are warm and subtropical, though cooled by a system of seasonal breezes. Outside of the rainy winter, rainfall is sparse and the fertile lands are irrigated by the many river and streams that flow freely through the region.
