[[Category:{{{continent}}} Regions]] Aquitain (pronounced: ah-kwi-tain) is a landlocked townsland region in northwestern Dwilight, to the west of Ygg d'Razhuul, and to the north of the city and suburbs of Gelene. Aquitain is an extremely affluent town, and provides an extremely important service to the realm it serves. The soldiers who call this town home are extremely intelligent (though slightly less rough than their rural brethren from the neighboring regions), and excellent commanders. Aquitain is a valuable target, and as such it is under constant threat from Dwilight Monsters.

Aquitain was the fifth region conquered by the realm of Everguard as it expanded its territory in the days following its founding, and the realm maintains control over the region to this day.

Climate

The rolling hills of Aquitain.

Aquitain is a townsland found in the midland prairies land-locked between Gelene Outskirts, Sabadell, Ygg d'Razhuul and Zereth. The climate of the region is generally temperate and mild, and the local peasants seem to enjoy the climate more than some of the extremes experience on the coastal regions, or further south.

Early Records show that Aquitain used to be susceptible to Droughts and Brush fires with record hot temperatures on summers with extreme heat waves. Aquitain's winters are less harsh, due to it's rather close proximity to the coasts. Temperature have generally fallen just below Freezing, while summesr can sometime go as high as 97 degrees.

Precipitation has increased in comparison to local records. Raging storms now often pass through the region, even with some accounts of tornadoes from time to time. However with the increased precipitation, Aquitain has flourished to be the agricultural hub of it's neighbors.

Native Plants and Animals

Prairie Dogs are indigenous to Aquitain.

Aquitain is also popuuraly known for it's diverse wild life. With long rolling prairie fields, the wild horses of Aquitain run wild and free... considered to be one of the strongest and most graceful creatures of the land. Also distinct to only Aquitain, Prairie dogs have found this to be their home, much to the disdain of the local farmers.

The plant life of Aquitain mostly consists of fields of produce from the native farmers. However, Aquitain also provides perfect conditions for the growth of herbal remedies and it's grown to be a very profitable and useful business for the locals.

Economic Influence of the Town

Aquitain holds it's high stature of the northern coast lands, proving to be the center of trade. Aquitain conveniently placed at the crossroads between multiple regions. For the many traders that travel far and wide, a stop at Aquitain is almost always guaranteed, and has become something of a necessity when travelling west. It is a great deal of distance between the holy city of Valkyrja and the next closest western city of Gaston, so Aquitain is an important hub that serves as a waypoint between the great cities. Goods from all over the world find their place in Aquitain's marketplace.

Military Culture

Aquitain was captured, and immediately became a frontier region - often seeing invasions of monsters coming through their borders to attack the inner regions of Everguard. As a result, the townspeople have become battle hardened and strong, and provide some of the strongest forces in the kingdom. The forces of Everguard continually guard the region against the black beasts of the west, constantly scouring Aquitain and cleansing it of any evil that may come within its borders.

After the lord was named, a fortress was built in the centre of the region as a main base of operations in the defence of the region, as well as several smaller fortifications around the land in order for the people to have a place to flee to and seek shelter for food, water and protection, should any monsters or undead return. New recruitment centers were founded and men have poured into them to take up arms and defend the kingdom.

Politics

Aquitain is a loyal region of Evergaurd. The locals were persuaded in a matter of days of Evergaurd's intent and purpose, and happily turned themselves over to the kingdom to become subjects of the High King. Those graced with High King Fisc Arylon's presence felt extremely honored, as he personally lead the force of arms that claimed the region.

Knowing Aquitain was a crossroads and therefore a bridge to the rest of the neighboring regions, The Queen Consort Luna Dawnstar remained to continue to learn of the locals and the lands. Quickly, Evergaurd gained unanimous acceptance. The locals themselves offered Luna if she would accept the honor of being the overlord of the townsland.
