The slow, rolling hills and broad grasslands of Jorradith give stark contrast to the cliffs along her shore which give way in only a few places to small fishing communities that bring in the bulk of Jorradith's primary fish export: cod. Much of inland Jorradith is covered by farmland devoted to staple produce of grains such as corn and wheat or vegetables like carrots and cabbage.

Once a part of the "Hunting Grounds" of Niselur, the twisted monsters of old have been driven off to be replaced by wild boar and quail which make prized sport for the nobility of the region, and much less dangerous.

The Lord's manor sits on a hill overlooking the vast expanse of farmland; the manor is only lightly fortified but the primary attraction is the stretch of vineyard below the east face of the hill which produces grapes crushed into fine wine. Just south of the vineyard is a small temple of Sanguis Astroism, pair to the chapel dedicated to the Bloodstars within the Lord's manor and adjoining the local priory of the Order of the Palm. The Lord's estate, Manor Hill, stretches from east-central Jorradith to her northern shore.

The area adjoining the region of Gaston Farms contains the most verdant fields of the region and are encompassed by the South Farms estate; the western area of the region is encompassed by the West Pastures estate, a broad stretch of grassy pastureland used for both livestock and hunting.

Jorradith boasts the finest light infantry in Niselur, and the region's drillmasters pride themselves on their ability to swiftly convert farmers and fishermen into an effective fighting force. Heir to the infantry tradition of Niselur, Jorradith's own Edreun are equipped with light armor and short spears, drawing their swords after closing with the enemy. The North Shore Auxiliary is drawn primarily from the fisherman along Jorradith's northern shore; instead of shields, these warriors are armed with spear and net and are at their best once battle lines break into general melee.
