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 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 smoking ruins. The orcs did not expect to encounter any further enemies at the Midlands.[1]
