The Maps of Myrist
The western region of the Karana plains is the closest to Qeynos, residing just beyond the gently rolling hills outside the city gates. The road that connects the eastern city of Freeport to the western port-side city of Qeynos winds through this wide, flat expanse of land and reaches out to the northern plains where it is continued to the east toward Highpass Hold.
Karana's western sector is treasured by the entire Qeynos kingdom for its prime farmland. In the very recent past, a small cult dedicated to The Plaguebringer, Bertoxxulous, caused a devastating plague to wash over the entirety of this rich, fertile farmland. The diseased crops and the apparent lack of any cure proved devastating to the farmers that depend on the plains' rich soil for their livelihood and the citizens of Qeynos who depend on the harvest to meet their nutritional needs. But recently, a priest of Rodcet Nife discovered a cure and the plains have been restored to their former vitality. The farmers and animal life of this region thrive again, having recovered with amazing speed from the crippling affliction that had threatened to mortally wound the whole of Qeynos.
Numerous towers set up by the guards of Qeynos dot the plains. To the southwest, on the shores of the Serpent River, rests a small barbarian fishing village where adventurers may purchase supplies and sell their wares.
