The Riftlands

The Riftlands are a state whose territory extends primarily along the Rift, covering most of the northern section of the eastern border with the Rift. The territory extends up to the northern coast of Neeria, and includes some portion of the Stern, the mountain range at the top of the Rift. The exact boundaries of the Riftlands are not known, as the Stern remains largely unclaimed by any state, and politically dominated by the criminal organization known as the Sternguard.

Until the construction of the crossing, the Riftlands was the poorest and most crime ridden of the eastern states. Since the Crossing was built, however, the state has become very wealthy. The Riftlands is known as having the highest income inequality of any state, as it’s largest city, the Crossing, is the richest city per capita in Neeria, but the remainder of the state is quite poor. It’s capital is Stonecliff, though it’s largest city is the Crossing.
