Briarcrest Foothills

The Briarcrest Foothills stretch across the southeastern slopes of Illdoridri, a land of rolling green hills and wildflower meadows that contrasts sharply with the perilous Hearthglen. Known for its fertile soil and vibrant harvest festivals, Briarcrest thrives as a hub of trade and culture, drawing merchants and travelers to its bustling open-air markets. 

At the heart of this prosperity lies Helena’s Farm, a legendary estate renowned for its golden wheat fields and rare herbal gardens. Its produce is prized across Illdoridri, making Helena’s name synonymous with quality and tradition. While Briarcrest is largely peaceful, whispers of smuggling rings operating beneath old wine cellars add a subtle layer of intrigue to this otherwise idyllic region.

Scattered among the hills are forgotten ruins carved from moss-covered stone and adorned with faded glyphs. These remnants hint at a lost civilization predating the Covenant era. Local folklore speaks of sun rituals and hidden vaults buried beneath the earth, drawing adventurers and scholars alike. Some believe these ruins are linked to the Ethereal Threads, suggesting an early understanding of elemental forces.
