The Highfold

The highfold is the slab of highland east of the Nentir Vale, over the Dawnforge Mountains. It is commonly known as the birthplace and centre of Brenin.

The Highfold is typically a hazardous place for one unfamiliar with the lay of the land, especially in winter. Residents of the harsher regions of the Highfold are known amongst Brenin as the Brushers.

The Goldbeard highroad runs through its centre, and is kept in relatively safe travelling conditions all year round. Section of the road are indeed paved with gold.

The Highfold stretches some 400km north to south, and 600km east to west. Gradually becomming more inhospitable to further one strays from the Dawnforge.
