Amlad is a land of semi-nomadic clans who follow their herds of horses and cattle over the grasslands. There are a few towns and villages. Calamlad is the largest of these. To the south of Amlad are the Mountains of Nlad, and beyond them the Kingdom of Nlad: a land of Men. Westward is Milkland...the pastoral land of the halfling folk, and also Amlad's allies. North is wilderness, for the most part: wild, and largely uninhabited but for occasional small settlements and the ever-present humanoid tribes who continuously assail Amlad's borders. East, beyond Golgar, over the Mississippi River, are the lands of Nolthen and the Empire of Saltar. The former used to be a province of the latter until it was overrun some 700 years past by the forces of Imrimil, a Wizard of the Black Order and a deadly foe. Fortunately for Amlad his attentions are usually devoted to matters along his own eastern borders. Saltar used to be the greatest Empire of Men, thousands of years ago, but it long ago collapsed, until now, it is but a pale, decadent shadow of its former self.
