The area to the south and west of the civilised regions of Orlaine is dubbed “The Badlands”. An accurate map of the lands does not exist as the terrain is constantly, but slowly changing from mountains to forests to deserts to swamp and back again. This sometimes takes years to change, so slow that it is unnoticeable, but sometimes the land around you can change within a month to be unrecognisable. It is rumoured that there is a Chaos portal within the Badlands that causes these changes. Indeed, there seems to be a higher concentration of chaos creatures within the area than normal, in fact the area is a haven of all sorts of nefarious creatures from simple goblins to cabals of Death Knights. Due to the constant changing of the terrain, Dwarves are attracted to the land to mine on the minerals and gems that are refreshed every once in a wile. This makes the Badlands a profitable if dangerous place to live, and although the mortality rate is very high, people still travel there in droves because of the few survivors that have come out, in one piece. Adventure is everywhere in the Badlands, Surviving itself is an adventure and there are plenty of creatures there that do not want to be disturbed. Rumours are that there are good undead in the Badlands working to rid the land of the chaotic taint. The fountain of eternal youth also resides in the Badlands, allegedly.
