Windsward
Windsward is a broad territory of green pastures, deep woods, farms, estates, and broken windmills. Its fertile appearance makes it one of Aeternum’s most inviting landscapes, but the region also carries some of the island’s oldest natural and legendary associations.
Medea is said to have walked and tended the land in ancient times, connecting Windsward to a much older history than its farms and settlements initially suggest. Local traditions such as the Queen in Emerald, the Wild Hunt, and the Druids preserve stories of powers that existed before many of the people now occupying the region.
At the same time, Windsward contains the remains of ordinary settlers who tried to ranch, farm, trade, fish, and build estates on the island. That contrast is central to its identity. Windsward looks domesticated, but beneath the cultivated fields lies an older Aeternum that has never fully yielded to human ownership.
