Late Alliance Era

New page

The [[Southern Reaches]] is a region of the [[Greater Continent]] that includes the land mass of [[Iami]] as well as a large portion of the continent itself. The region saw a great deal of activity over a protracted period of time, more in some ways than the [[Agras Plain]].

==Geographic Boundries==
The area known as the Southern Reaches is bordered by the [[Brutish Sea]] to the north, an extension of the [[Barrier Range]] to the east, the [[Counterwise Region]] to the South, and no real geographic boundary to the west. There's no firm consensus on exactly where the Reaches end and [[Modia]] begins, though most cartographers place it around the northern-most point of the shelf.

Following the [[Mage Wars#The Intermediate Period|Intermediate Period]], the region of [[Drack]] also formed a significant barrier, as passage overland was exceptionally dangerous and often deadly. This allowed the Southern Reaches to develop in isolation for much of the Dynastic Period.

*[[Southwide Steppe]]

*[[Windheart Desert]]
*[[Trinobar Grasslands]]
*[[Boot]]

==Mage Wars==
Much like the rest of the continent, the Southern Reaches were home to countless city-states and [[Mage Tower]]s throughout the [[Mage Wars#The First Chaotic Period|First Chaotic Period]]. Influences from neighboring [[Drack]] led to some unique cultural developments.

Then, in around B.G.A. 2400, the Marcons attacked [[Drack]], effectively cutting the Southern Reaches off from the rest of the continent. The [[Marcon Alliance|Marcons]] made inroads in the region, establishing a beachhead at [[Six Fang Peaks]]. The further barrier of the [[Windheart Desert]] (the [[dragon]] flight who commanded it), provided another major barrier. The [[Bootharian Empire]] formed during the early [[Mage Wars#The Dynastic Period|Dynastic Period]] to combat the encroaching Marcons. A combination of logistical difficulties and Boothari moxie effectively stalled further Marconian assault.

==Imperial Era==
Further west, in around B.G.A. 1000, an [[Mage Types#Arch Magus|Arch Magus]] called [[Kubliah Ren]] conquered sixteen city-states in the region of the [[Gorbash Steppe]]. Kubliah did not enslave his newly-conquered peoples, instead offering them some sovereignty in exchange from their loyalty. Using this power base, he formed the [[Layloma Empire]].

Layloma would later become a charter member in the [[Alliance]], and cavalry from there fought alongside [[Eieber]]. Layloma would last until [[A.Y.]] 1378, when the [[Necromanic Wars]] allowed the nation to break into civil war.

==Late Alliance Era==
Following the dissolution of the Layloma Empire, the nations of [[Kiatra]], [[Senga]], and [[Lumot]] came to prominence in the region. The [[Gorbash Steppe]] saw its population go into steep decline. When the empire broke apart, there were around 100 independent city-states. By the [[Ages#The Sixth Age|Sixth Age]] this number had shrunk to less than twenty.

Further south, in the triangle, the region experienced a major tech-boom, and became the home to the continent's tech industry.
