The Coffin

The Coffin is a non-militarized area and borderland created by The Truce of Wheelaris, the site of the ruins of the only major city within the area.

Origin of the Name
The Coffin gets its name from a dual meaning. Firstly, people have always remarked that the area between the three kingdoms, where the fighting was most common, was shaped like a coffin. Secondly, the valley is where the vast majority of the killing took place during The Pig War and previous conflicts as well.

Population
There is no longer any substantial population within The Coffin, though bandits, outlaws, and exiles have been known to hide in the area due to it's relative isolation.

Geographic Features
The Coffin is bordered on the North by the Eastern Thundersummit Mountains and on the South by The Gilded Heights. In years past it was a fertile valley for farming, but no such activity takes place now. The Wellspring River runs through the eastern half of the province and past a large open salt dome called The Isle of Salt and ending in a salt lake called The Mikransian Sea.
