The South Marches is a territory of the region known simply as "The Marches " lies south of the March Sea and west of the Sea of Shards.
Culture[]
The Southlands are culturally similar to the Marchlands and the Kels in that they all speak the same human language (Arness) though each region will have their own ethnic dialect. Styles of dress, food, music and religion also vary from the Kels and the Marchlands. Because of the many textile planations in the south, cloth is far more affordable and comes in a wider variety of textures, colors and patterns. Because of this, the style of dress is a bit more voluminous with long, draping sleeves, billowy gowns and puffy shirts.
Climate[]
Where as the north is often gripped with long, snowy winters, the south has more temperate weather throughout the year.
Economy[]
The southern climate allows for extensive agricultural development within the region. Nearly every Barony owes, at least in some part, its fortune to either the export of food crops, alchemical herbs, textiles or dye plants.
