The Southern Badlands lie to the Wilderlands' north, creating a natural barrier between the Wilderlands and the countries of Juk and Kohlmer. There are rumours of wild men living in the Wilderlands. However, most of the people that make the Wilderlands their home live in relatively small, scattered "kingdoms" that are little more than city-states, and most of these are along or near the southern coastline.
