A region of Thorast to the north-east of the Kleinius Vale and south-west of the Hammer Peaks. It is protected by Fort Viridian.
As its name suggests, the region is notable for its foothills, some of which are of considerable size.

The Welcome Hills is notable for its large lake (Lake Viridian) around which are a number of settlements, including Fort Viridian.
