View of the Barrowlands of the Vale of Angularis.

The Barrowlands is an area of extensive plains in the Deep South which is situated in the Bailiwick of the Princely Precinct of the Elwynnese Union called the Emirate of Alalehzamin and Utasia which is known as the Vale of Angularis. It is very rich in archaeological remains and ancient lore.

About

The Barrowlands is a region which has been shrouded in mystery for inumerable generations. An ancient land of wide, grassy hilly plains where half-hidden doors in the sides of hills open onto labyrinthine caves that wend their way through darkness to reveal unimaginable wonders and vast treasures deep beneath the earth. There are also numerous barrows - the ancient graves of the Elwys, from which the name of the area has been derived - to be found. The largest barrow, the Great Barrow which is situated in a hamlet called Kalmyn, is said to contain the grave of the Great King of the Elwys who was also known as the First Barrow King.

The area is sacred to those who worship the Goddess Elwynn such as the Church of Elwynn and Froyalanish Ancient Ways.
