Greylands

It is often joked by Imperial scholars that it would be impossible to make a political map of the Greylands, as by the time the map was finished, the borders of its kingdoms would have already shifted far too much for it to be useful.

While this is an exaggeration, it is not far from the truth. The Greylands are full of clans, tribes and small kingdoms. While it is considered barbaric by many Imperials, in truth, it is a land full of culture and ancient history, and a diverse landscape of forests, plains and ancient ruins.

Humans, hill dwarves and wood elves are common in the Greylands, but it contains many members of all civilized races (as well as more than a few of the less civilized). Worship of the Divines is countered by an almost equal worship of the Prime Elementals, as well as barbaric tribes that worship much darker gods...

History
Describing the history of the Greylands is complicated, as the name itself is a very recent one, being coined by scholars from the Novan Empire who simply considered the area the "Grey" part of the map.

It is known to have been inhabited during both the First Age and Second Age, and is dotted by many ruins of ancient civilizations. But it is also worth noting many of the human and halfling tribes have been there for just as long. Their histories and cultures are as diverse as they are complex.
