While much of the lands to the west of the isle became part of the Noctre Imperii Lands or were left alone to be claimed by Independent Packs, some of the territories along the coast remained, a remembrance of the Provinces once in alliance with the greater isle. Great bridges naturally stretch across the waters made of hardened stone and clay connecting to the isle and the shores are filled with golden sands and palm trees. The jungles at the south of the Noctre Imperii lands connect with these beaches as do the northern mountains. Only the ever rolling hills and plains separate these beaches from the vast grassy plane of the Empire mainlands.
