Grèsent is a cultural and historical region in central Tiðloten. Once home to a number of independent countries, today it is divided into #Upper Grèsent and #Lower Grèsent, both constituent countries of the Wiþi Empire. The Suda sea, a large lake slightly south of the centre of Grèsent, is one of the most notable features of Grèsent. Grèsent is known as the "breadbasket of Tiðloten" for its large amount of grain, especially wheat, and for its elemental magic, which is suppressed by the Wiþi Empire authorities.

Upper Grèsent is a country of the Wiþi Empire in Grèsent, roughly comprising the lands of Grèsent north of the Suda Sea. It contains the historic capital of Ongrèsent, Ongrèstilsa, and the largest amount of wheat production in Tiðloten. Its current administrative capital is Agrasichas, while its current largest city is Trèsicha.

Geography

Largely agricultural near Agrasichas and Trèsicha, pockets of forest become more frequent further north and west. The Norecha mountains (known as the Wiþi mountains in Covtle) run east-west at the northern end. The Suda sea, a large inland sea, forms the boundary with Lower Grèsent.

Climate

Mostly humid continental climate (Dfa).

Languages

Senta Grèstilsa is spoken in the main northern part of Grèsent. A variety called Naxo is spoken in the far north near Atlée.

Lower Grèsent is a country of the Wiþi Empire in Grèsent, roughly comprising the lands of Grèsent south of the Suda sea. It contains the historical territories of Dokagrolis and Sudasichas. Somewhat agricultural, especially along the coast, it becomes forested quickly inland. The Āea mountains (known in Covtle as the Cientla mountains) form the southern border.

Geography

The population of Lower Grèsent is very coastal, living near the coast of the Suda sea and stretching inland slightly more around the Atlent river towards Dokagrolis. In the east, the ridgeline of the Āea mountains form the southern border, while to the west the border follows roughly west from the ridgeline to the Voigai mountains.
