As a region, the frontier specifically refers to parts of several provinces: [[Callan]], [[Southmarch]], [[Afoncord]], western [[Ardricampus]], southwestern [[Harren]], and part of [[Kingsvale]]. These areas have two predominant climates; marshland towards the coast and arid brushland in the interior with little access to water. Much of the area was made habitable due to scientific advances during the {{wp|Industrial Revolution}} in [[Urcea]], bringing large groups of people out of [[The Valley (Urcea)|the Valley]] into the southern areas. Today, these areas continue to benefit from irrigation projects, and the provinces in the South are sometimes referred to as being part of [[The Valley (Urcea)|the Valley]], a controversial characterization among both residents of the frontier as well as of sociologists who continue to study the unique cultural traditions of people living within this area. | |||
