You lived in a small enclave among the people of the Inner Wilds, a
seemingly endless untamed place in the southern interior of the continent of
Aelus, far from Galrathia and the other nations. The people of the Wilds
were hardy and had to tame the bogs and fens of their homeland in order to
be able to survive.

Wilders valued their self-reliance, strong will, and their ability to make
an otherwise inhospitable place home. Wilder enclaves were few and far
between, with each having its own leaders and managed independently from the
others. They were largely left alone by the New Kingdoms given the lack of
obvious strategic value of the Wilds and the logistical difficulty in
conquering or even trying to govern them.

When the Blight came, the landscape did little to slow its advance, and it
wasn't long before the Wilds were fully consumed, despite the preparations
of the wilders.
