Dry Plain

The Dry Plain is a prominent feature of central Aradór. It's a huge flat area of grassland and occasional forests lying between the Bay of Thrig in south, the Nelean Highland to the North, Eduin to the East and the Western Sea in the West. River Holme flows through the Dry Plain, providing water source for irrigation. The soil is fertile and with minimal irrigation bountiful harvests of cereal grain are possible, accounting for the Dry Plain being known as the Lady of Bread. The main driving force of the Dry Plain is agriculture, crops widely grown here include several varieties of wheat, barley and rye, as well as oaths and proso; due to dryer climate, the latter is more common in the north of the plain, were rain falls considerably less than closer to the Bay. The whole plain earns its name due to the northern part of it, just at the foot of the Nelean Highland, where the climate is drier than in the surrounding areas. Comparatively, the rest of the Dry Plain isn't much dryer than the parts not considered “dry”. This low rain fall region is usually called the “Dry Belt” or “Hingpetse” in Arazi.
