The Midlands were a group of prosperous kingdoms of the Green Isle. To their northwest lay the [[Broken Mountains]]; to their northeast, the [[Oldwood Forest]]; to their southeast, [[Clearwater|Clearwater Port]]; and to their southwest, [[Southbay]]. They were important trade partners with the other kingdoms of the Green Isle, especially Southbay, exporting large amounts of grain as well as lumber and gemstones. When the orcs invaded the Green Isle, they advanced upon the Midlands, sacking the kingdoms. The orcish warlords [[Tan-Vrodis]], [[Tan-Bok]], and [[Tan-Hogar]] were left to guard its ruins.<ref name="midlands">The Midlands, The Rise of Wesnoth</ref>
