Nestled to the east of Oldeshire, Vallachia stands as a picturesque geographical region known for its rolling green hills, dense birch, oak, and pine forests, and a distinct four-season climate. In stark contrast to the dense urbanity of its western neighbor, Vallachia exudes a more pastoral charm, adorned with small towns and villages dispersed amid expansive wilderness.

Geographical Features of Vallachia

Vallachia's defining characteristic is its undulating landscape of rolling green hills, thick woodlands, and numerous streams. The vast woodlands of Vallachia feature a rich variety of birch, oak, and pine trees.

Situated at the heart of Vallachia, the central lake serves as a focal point for both locals and visitors. Its pristine waters mirror the surrounding hills and forests.

To the west of the central lake lies a meteor crater, a geological marvel that stands as a testament to ancient celestial events. Now partially filled with water, the crater adds an intriguing element to Vallachia's landscape and serves as a reminder of the Shire's cosmic history.

The eastern half of Vallachia remains a relatively untouched wilderness, preserving the region's natural beauty. This vast expanse of open land is home to various wildlife species, contributing to the biodiversity of Vallachia.

In the northern reaches of Vallachia, expansive glaciated areas showcase the enduring beauty of snow-covered landscapes. These areas maintain their icy allure throughout the year.
