|Introduction=The '''Western Lowlands''' is a region in [[~~Payalwa~~]] that encompasses about half of the realm. The region is noted for its large and vast swamps, as well as being the center of [[~~Morusi~~]] civilization. It is home to both the capital of the [[League of ~~Payalwa~~]] [[Harrowmere]] and its largest city, [[Leban]].

The region is noted for its large and vast swamps, as well as being the center of [[Boiyende]] civilization.

|History==== Pre-Human Times ===

With the great war of erosion, ~~Payalwa~~ western lowlands were inundated with water. [[~~Oras~~]]' plan to harden the earth backfired, creating a vast network of swamps and lakes that persist to this day. Here the [[Ascendant Spirit]] [[~~Tragget~~]] first emerged as the spirit of swamps and bogs. He made his home in this region and over time the [[Olsendi]], who also built their civilization here, lived peacefully for hundreds of years before the ~~Morusi~~ arrived in the year 200.

[[Yairan]]' plan to harden the earth backfired, creating a vast network of swamps and lakes that persist to this day. Here the [[Ascendant Spirit]] [[Tahami]] first emerged as the spirit of swamps and bogs. He made his home in this region and over time the [[Olsendi]], who also built their civilization here, lived peacefully for hundreds of years before the Boiyende arrived in the year 200.

=== Early ~~Morusi~~ Civilization ===

=== Early Boiyende Civilization ===

~~Morusi~~ first arrived in what is now the town of [[Tabe]], located in southwestern ~~Payalwa~~. From here, they rapidly expanded outwards, encompassing most of the Western Lowlands. In it, ~~Morusi~~ quickly adapted to the swamp-like conditions, learning to build on the uneven terrain. It is here they also began being influenced by the ascendant spirit of [[~~Moevre~~]], who has served as their main spiritual influence since then.

Boiyende first arrived in what is now the town of [[Tabe]], located in southwestern Balúrail. From here, they rapidly expanded outwards, encompassing most of the Western Lowlands. In it, Boiyende quickly adapted to the swamp-like conditions, learning to build on the uneven terrain. It is here they also began being influenced by the ascendant spirit of [[Mavai]], who has served as their main spiritual influence since then.

|Geography=Lowlands are largely peat bogs with patches of solid ground interspersed between them. Light forests also dot the region. The land is fertile and a good source of ~~Morusi~~ agriculture.

|Demographics=The dominant demographic in the Western Lowlands is the ~~Morusi~~ people with a sizable Olsendi population located on the reservation. Immigrants from other realms make up a minor population in the major cities.

|Transportation=The transportation in the western lowlands is by a patchwork network of roads and by boat. Due to the swampy nature of the land and frequent impassable terrains, there are no rail lines in ~~Payalwa~~. And travel between districts is sometimes challenging.
