Carrowdore

The central region of Carrowdor e in Angeltir is heavily wooded but lightly populated. To the north and east of the region, Carrowdore is hilly; the northern hills are part of the Briarwracks while the eastern hills form part of the long line of rocky country that eventually joins the Gormpikes. The south of Carrowdore is dominated by wooded lowlands where poorly-maintained paths meander through thick black alder forests and great bogs.

The communities in this area practice coppicing to ensure management of the trees and their two main industries are tanning and charcoal burning. One can often see large mounds consisting of huge piles of stacked wood covered with squares of turf within which the wood is slowly burning to make charcoal.

The locals (often thought of as “insular” by other Angelterrans”) tend to wear leather kilt-like skirts or breeches and quilted jackets stuffed with goose down and lined with rabbit fur.

The region is nominally ruled over by the Serene Princess Leofflaed from the town of Cairnroot on the border with Donnell but the influence of Donnell Hall makes any ruler of Carrowdore little more than an administrator.
