Introduction: 

This gazetteer provides gamemasters and players with background details on the lands of Haestra north of the Bay of Izar from the city Port of Izar, in the west, along the coast to the border of the easternmost County found within the Wailing Marsh in the east. Within that region, known to most as western Vornia, are three self-proclaimed Counties; Ajendar, Bentara and Somurund, each of several hundred year standing, and the loosely governed western region along the Kijara Strait known as the Guild Coast, administered by various Guild masters aligned with the Port of Izar.
