[[Category:{{{continent}}} Regions]] Gelene Outskirts (pronounced: geh-leen out-skirts) is an important suburban town serving the city of Gelene, as well as an expansive area of land stretching from the coast of the western landmass inland toward the great mountain range. The outskirts surround the city of Gelene, and immensely important to travel and trade with the city - many merchants and traders do business in the outskirts before moving on to to city itself. The people of this region are fine craftsmen, skilled workers and are famous for hospitality.

Climate

Gelene Outskirts is a region full of variety, with flat, coastal planes leading into a hilly region, though never progressing to mountains. The long coastline and moderating impact of the sea gives the region a stable, moderate climate and allows for winter harvest.

Rainfall occurs primarily in two-three day, moderate storms during the winter. Summer rain, occurring only a few times a year, is generally in short, violent thunderstorms lasting less than a day, but quite spectacular to behold, especially at night in the hills.

Native Plants and Animals

Long ago Gelene Outskirts held a wide variety of animals and plants, but due to the cultivation of land and growth of towns throughout many species are no longer present.

Most animals are livestock of some sort, notably horses, sheep and cattle. A variety of birds, including several birds of prey, may be seen throughout the region. Some predatory animals, wolves and foxes, remain and occasionally attack livestock, but are little more than a small annoyance.

Wheat and corn are the staple crops of the region, and large fields surround the various towns.

The sparse forested areas which remain hold a limited variety of oak and other hardwoods while small copses of poplars are scattered throughout the fields and towns.

Economy of the Town Outskirts

Being a coastal community bordering a larger town and a city, the region is home to a number of harbors and many of the goods heading for Aquitain or Gelene come through the Outskirts' ports. While much of this trade is conducted in the more established areas, the customs made provide a healthy income to support the more traditional farming and herding. Access to trade goods from all over the world, often at relatively low prices compared to what areas inland must pay, means the stand of living for the citizens of Gelene Outskirts is considerably higher than one would expect.

Recently this trade and contact with foreigners has become more important, and prompted the various local governments to discuss the founding of an institute of learning for the welfare of the region as a whole and its people.

The towns serve another purpose- when raw materials from all over the world are shipped in to the region they are often processed in various specialty communities which have sprung up in response to demand for finished goods further inland.
