I think the region to the south east of Xastrana presents an opportunity to explore some darker themes. Werewolves, vampires, gothic horror, etc. This region encompasses a lot of modern day Romania, so I think it would be a good spot to place a bit more darkness into the world. The population of the area is likely poor, and the farmland, while plentiful in area, is sparse and difficult to tend. The land is divided among several barons known to be corrupt and sinister, while a powerful devil rules over the area seeking dominion over the land around it. Werewolves prowl the forests, and undead creatures frequently visit unsuspecting towns. Protected by mountains on its southern border, this nation is poor and downtrodden, and may just be in need of some heroes to help rally the people and take down the tyrants holding them hostage in their own homes. These heroes have not yet arrived.
