Casinea

In Highguard's northwest, Casinea is an old and wealthy territory as well as the site of the town of Anvil, the political heart of the Empire. Once entirely forested, the woodlands have slowly been felled until only Greatwood and Woodwych are still covered and within a few generations it is likely the trees of Woodwych will be gone as well. Still, the scattered hills and low mountain peaks of Syrwatch and Mareholm are rich with mines and quarries that show no signs of running out any time soon. In addition to fine marble, gold, and silver, Casinea produces excellent quality weltsilver, tempest jade, and precious stones have been mined here for centuries. Several wealthy chapters protect the quarries and mines to ensure the protection of the vital assets against barbarians and bandits.
