The Scavenger Lands are also known as the River Province, and are the heart of the East. They consist of the region bound together by the Yanaze River and its tributaries. The area makes a good starting point for Solar campaigns, as the Wyld Hunt has trouble going there, and there are multitudinous opportunites for adventure.
