The Maps of Myrist

As with its eastern counterpart, the Western Commonlands have threats of its own that seem to rise far above the common level of danger in the region. Hill Giants, monstrous behemoths of immeasurable strength, patrol this area. They have developed a taste for the flesh of aspiring young adventurers.

To the far west await the mysterious beings known simply as Shadow Men. These unseen creatures are noticed only by the trained eye, for they carry with them visible weapons of an ethereal nature that enable one to mark their location. Adventurers should beware of the Shadow Men, for they are vicious and uncaring for the likes of mortals.

The main road from Freeport to Highpass and beyond goes through the middle of the western Commonlands. Many people live in the area, and a traveling adventurer can find merchants or safe places to rest along the road.
