Bernica

Bernica is the grassy lowland region on the east of Bythain. It is primarily inhabited by the Eohfolc (Æohþolc) peoples, and the petty kingdoms of Braccus and Othenia.

Historically, Bernica has been the breadbasket of the islands, and continues to be a source of food for many outside of the region.

After the first fall, the region was very quickly taken over by the Eohfolc peoples, and is now synonymous with the peoples, a separation that is unlikely to fade.

Geography
The region of Bernica is best characterized by grassy flatlands, expansive hills, and farmlands. The temperate weather, and pleasant rainfall has provided the region with the perfect conditions for vast agricultural undertakings.

While the north tends to be a little more frigid and hilly, the south receives warm winds from the south east, and is home to numerous winerys and vineyards.

Civilization
Such great conditions for agriculture mean great conditions for larger settlements. Bernica is a populous region, with numerous towns and even cities dotted around the region, particularly along the riverways or coastal areas.

The cities themselves tend to be sprawling settlements that have grown over time, and are home to a host of markets and other businesses.
