The Meadowlands

The Meadowlands is the second largest of the seven great territories, however, unlike the five of the other territories, it has no single capital and unified governing system. Instead, the Meadowlands has many ruling bodies who refuse to bow to each other, leading to it having a reputation as an unstable region rife with petty feuds over land and pride.

Geography
The Meadowlands is often referred to as the 'lowlands' or 'land of flowers' for the vast expanses of rich fields often seen blooming with yellow and orange flowers. The relative amount of rich farmland in the Meadowlands is rivalled only by the Wingspan, however many fields suitable for crops are left burnt or otherwise destroyed after conflicts.

History
The Meadowlands is unique in how poorly its history is documented, it is typical for a defeated family to have their history wiped from all records as a mark of shame in their defeat. As a result of this, the most well-documented families are those who rose to great power in their time and suffered no shameful defeats. The most famous of these is the Vanhorn family, who succeeded in uniting much of the north and the west of the Meadowlands. Lord Vanhorn (later crowned the Conquering king) expanded his territory further than any lord of the Meadowlands had done prior and even to this day only the Pierced Shore rivals the size of his lands. However, no matter how brilliant a warrior and leader lord Vanhorn was, he was a terrible father, his eventual downfall was caused by his six sons uniting together to assassinate him. The sons then found themselves in charge of an empire bound together only by the lord Vanhorn, without him to maintain order chaos broke out and the sons scattered and fought. Since then many of the Meadowlands lords see the prospect of uniting as dangerous, despite strengthening your force from external attack, you expose yourself to internal conflict.

Culture
The Meadowlands was founded on the celebration of the idea of independence and resilience, whilst denouncing those who display weakness, a significant number of lords still live by these virtues currently, leading to a culture of much fighting and celebration of violence. The Meadowlands lack behind much else of the world in their development of medicines and buildings amongst other advancements. Song and dance are a key part of the culture, used to celebrate and mourn alike.
