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. 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 Viridian) around which are a number of settlements, including Fort Viridian.
