High Hand

The High Hand was a wide prairie escarpment of eastern Mirkwood where the forest highlands descended o the fertile plain of Aur Esgalabar.Ailgartha herders kept their horses out on the High Hand during the warmer months, but as chilly weather arrived they drove the beasts northward into the lowlands. Those in the western part of Ailgartha territory invariably rested their herds, and their bodies at Eolburg —albeit in their own tents.Tucked in the East Bight, between the escarpment was a well- protected settlement, Buhr Widu (Rh. "Forest Hold"),a refuge for Waildung princes.
