Lowwind Hills

The Lowwind Hills is a largely unsettled region of central Terragard, due to the scarce natural resources such as lumber and clean water, and the territorial hill giants that have seemed to claim the land as their own with their massive stone and wooden windmills dotting the horizon in every direction. Some settlements have popped up across the plains, mainly mining towns and trading posts, but they rarely survive the hill giant scavenging for long.

There are roads and trade routes that remain undisturbed thanks to the Knights of Fort Desolation, who keep a vigilant eye on the main roads that cross the massive Crag that divides the region into it's east and west sections. The northernmost point of the Crag reaching to the Hollow Mountain, and splitting it in two, exposing the massive once-underground Dwarven city of BurningBor.

Lowwind Hill Giants
The Hill Giants mainly reside within the Crag, but are able to travel long distances to scavenge for food and supplies when needed, they are only hostile when provoked, or when they see you have something they want. The giants favor wagons and carts, but will not pursue unless they know they can overtake the caravan, as well as favoring any sorts of metals, including metal armors.

The have proven to be quite difficult to rout when engaged, and destroying their windmills is a sure way to enrage them, leading to the destruction of many budding towns in the Lowwind region. Since the passages and winding ledges are so narrow, armies or forces larger than a few are ineffective, and since the Giants are mostly non-violent, no force has bothered to be raised against them. They remain undisturbed and are content to keep to their windmills and caves.

The hills are dotted with windmills built from stone and wood, and some areas around the crag have large stone and wood buildings set up housing hill giants. At some locations around the Crag, if you were to look down into its depths you can spot lights and sometimes water wheels for the streams that pour down into its depths, as well as other larger wheels that appear to turn mysteriously without wind or water power, all built by these hill giants. How they managed to work together and achieve any sort of mechanical knowledge is a question remaining unanswered.

Borders
The northernmost part of the Lowwind Hills region is the start of the Winterspine Mountains, leading north up to the Skylands, and south down past the Boiling depths to the Flooded Plains.
