Glenreach

Glenreach is a fictional settlement located in the northern region of the Aethelgardian province. Its exact geographical position is within the Whispering Peaks mountain range, characterized by rugged terrain and dense evergreen forests. The settlement's name is derived from the Old Aethelgardian words "glen" meaning valley and "reach" referring to a tract of land, thus signifying a settlement within a secluded valley.

Historically, Glenreach was established as a remote outpost by prospectors drawn to the mineral wealth rumored to be present in the mountains. Over time, its population grew to include loggers, trappers, and those seeking refuge from more populated areas. The primary industries in Glenreach have historically been forestry and limited mining, though recent decades have seen a slow increase in tourism due to the area's scenic beauty and opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The climate of Glenreach is temperate with cold, snowy winters and mild summers. The local flora and fauna are typical of a mountainous, boreal environment. The settlement's infrastructure is basic, consisting of a single main road connecting it to the provincial capital and a small community center that serves multiple functions. Glenreach is known for its close-knit community and relative isolation.
