Plains of Thrania

First Appearance and Context

Within the concent, the Plains serve as the notional setting for a planned, plant‑based reenactment of the Battle of Trantae, using a meadow to stand in for open farmland and a nearby riverbank as the model frontier. Later descriptions extend the analogy in everyday garden work, with a “weed‑horde” mustering on the bank and preparing to “invade” the fertile plains.

Historical Significance

  • Breadbasket of the Bazian Empire; accounts place the plains within a rich agricultural region and cite the River Chontus as a strategic boundary against northern provinces.
  • In a severe winter, the Sarthian Clan is said to have crossed the frozen river and established bridgeheads on the Thranian bank, setting conditions for the campaigning season that followed.
  • Near Trantae, General Oxas led Bazian legions into a staged retreat that turned into a pincer, a decisive action remembered as the Battle of Trantae.
  • Additional detail from current accounts notes Sarthian cavalry penetrating deep into the plains and driving a wedge between the Fourth and the Thirty‑third legions under Oxas.

Description and Geography

Level, open ground suited to mass maneuver, associated with flat countryside around Thrania. Narratives emphasize arable fields and the practical role of a river line as the northern frontier in the remembered campaign.

Current Status

Not explicitly stated in present accounts; the Plains chiefly serve as a historical reference point and instructional analogy.

Summary:
