The western plains were a region of plains on the Great Continent.
History
The western plains in Annuvin.
| The grand army of Wesnoth, personally led by the High Council of Archmagi, scoured the plains of all manner of hostile creature, be it beast, orc, or elf. |
| —Lore describes the colonization of the western plains. |
The western plains separated the cities of the east, such as Dan'Tonk and Weldyn, from the cities on the western coast, such as Elensefar and Aldril.[1] Though originally land belonging to the elves,[2] they were obtained by the first human settlers on the Great Continent through negotiations.[3] Shortly after this agreement, the human leader, Prince Haldric, was forced to defend the plains from a force of orcs and undead.[4]
Despite various cities around the plains being established at least as early as 23YW,[5] it was not until 161YW that Wesnoth asserted its sovereignty over the land by driving out hostiles, resulting in the construction of the Stronghold of Halstead to safeguard the land.[1] Halstead served this purpose until civil war broke out following Queen Asheviere's ascension to the throne in 501YW,[6] during which it was demolished.[1] The plains remained the dividing line between the two factions,[7][8][9] persisting until Asheviere's overthrow and death.[10]
