Editing Daily Life Under the Shadow (section)

====Wilds of Erenland====
Outside the more densely populated regions of
Eredane, in the vast wildlands, one of the greatest dangers is
the roving bands of goblinkin slavers. The slavers have free
reign to take as many humans as they can from villages not
under the Shadow’s dominion. The goblinkin have access to
many ready markets, all hungry for slaves: Steel Hill requires
miners, farms and cities alike need heavy laborers, the orcs
require occasional fresh meat to temper their hunger, and of
course the dark god’s priests require sacrifices. The slavers
especially prize young children that can be sold to legates or
collaborators to be raised and trained as loyal servants of
Izrador. Mercenary bands often purchase Dornish boys as servants,
later training them as soldiers to replace losses in their
ranks.
Slavers are not the only dangers in the wildlands. Poor
soil, lack of water, and limited game result in malnutrition or
even starvation. In the harsh winters in the north and the searing
heat of summer in the southern plains, many die each year
from exposure. The bleached bones of humans are a common
sight in the wastes of the White Desert or the cold tundras on
the northern coasts of the Endless Ocean. The harsh weather
is just one of the dangers. Animals turned feral and creatures
warped by the Sundering or maliciously altered by the
Shadow roam the wastes, competing for scarce food. In these
desperate times, even humans turn against each other: bandits
prey upon the weak and even fellow refugees may attack to
drive others away from areas with water and food.
