Ardean Plains

The Ardean Plains are located in the present day Earldom of Ardea and marks the western-most edge of the continent of Doma.

This history of the area is steeped in myth, being the location of The Battle for the Dawn, which ended the second epoch, and the majority of the battles in the Great Man myth, including the final Great Battle.

Indeed, the Sacred Burial Grounds of Ardea, a site of pilgrimage from all across Doma and beyond, even today, displays at least three burial traditions, two of which can be safely ascribed to the waygar'i traditions of Doma at the end of the Third Epoch/beginning of the Fourth Epoch (individual and mass graves marked by a single stone) and to the burial traditions of the the fír suthr (the Mounds of Heroes). The dolmens are, according to the local tradition, markers for the mass graves of keshal'i and sammonish'i warriors. Some corroborating evidence for this exists; ancient burial grounds near keshal'i ruins often have one or more dolmen as grave markers.
