The Welcome Hills is a region of Thorast that lays between the Kleinius Vale and the Hammer Peaks.
As its name suggests, the region is notable for its foothills, some of which are of considerable size. Luckily the network of roads maintained by the Imperial Army means that traversing this region is not overly difficult, even if many roads fail to conform to the ideal of "shortest route" between many of its towns.
The region is plagued by bands of orc and human raiders who take advantage of the terrain and gaps in army coverage to prey upon merchants and unwary adventurers.
The Welcome Hills is notable for its large lake (lake Veridian) around which are a number of settlements. including Fort Viridian. It is also home to the Fort Basilisk, which provides defence and road maintenance for an area of nearly 4800 sq.km.
The most famous non-military settlement is Hammer Hold, the dwarven mausoleum which now serves as a religious focus for dwarves and orcs alike.
