Wall Between East and West

Terrain and People
This region is almost completely formed by high mountains running north to south and ranging in depth from the Midekemian Sea (Middle Sea) from 250-300 km at the narrowest point to over 1500 km at the widest.

There is a range of hills directly along the entire coast, ending in cliffs along much of the seashore.

Inland of this belt lies a flat, open valley ranging from 50 km to almost 400km in width. This belt continues at the conjunction of The Blank Lands, the Wall between East and West, and the westernmost extension of the Urulluoi. This area is called the Triune Gate. A gigantic active volcano overlooks the Triune Gate. The passage south to the south end of the Wall Between leads to the Stone Circle. Narrow, but low, passes connect the Wall between East and West coastal plain and the Asian Theme.

Risks (To Combine)
The coastal valley is populated by a number of small states, all of which cooperate to allow trade to flow freely. They do have militaries, and will fight collectively if any are attacked, but are not imperialistic.

Some sages allege that the Stone Circle is a magical or ley artifact of great but unspecified power. No evidence is available to support this contention.
 * Note from Heru Hyanda: Some disturbance in the array of alliances around the conjunction portion, where various different other areas meet.

Military
Local military power only.

Economics
Little to trade for in the area, although the mountains do produce unusual furs and some rare timbers and plants. Mostly the area is a valued trade route, providing an alternative to the expensive Great Sakbe road. Although slower, this route is also cheaper, and nearly as safe thanks to the states owning the corridor.

Politics
Except for their unity against outside aggression and protection of the trade route through their states, little is known of the states here.
