Riverlands Emblem
The Riverlands (リバーランド地方, Ribārando Chihō) are a verdant, river-filled region in southwestern Orsterra. This region includes the towns of Clearbrook (home to the apothecary Alfyn), Saintsbridge, and Riverford.
United around the flowing waters of its namesake river, the Riverlands includes swathes of forests and grassy riverbanks. Its temperature climate lends itself well to sustaining large cities and small villages alike, and the land around Saintsbridge is known for its fertile vineyards. Not only does trade bustle along its rivers by boat, but the Riverlands is the region second-most devoted to the Order of the Sacred Flame, after the Frostlands.[1]
The Riverlands are bordered by the Sunlands to the east and the Cliftlands to the north. They also house the Shrine of the Healer, the secret Shrine of the Warbringer, and the kingdoms of Riven and Donescu.
