Marching Through the Iron Marches

---

Greetings traveller,

The resource-laden forests and hills of the Iron Marches are quite dangerous. It was bad enough after the Searing of Ascalon decimated the entire region. Now the dragon brand draws a near impassable line between Lion's Arch and the far east. We are most pleased to learn that explorers such as yourself are still making their way into the territory.

Keep up the good work.
