The Ustalavan county of Amaans is filled with the towering mountain peaks of the Hungry Mountains and mysterious mist-shrouded valleys. Amaans has relatively few inhabitants when compared with counties like Canterwall or Caliphas. Most of the relatively few inhabitants huddle against the border with their more civilised neighbor Ardeal, or the region surrounding Lake Kavapesta. Amaans' ruler is as rugged and wild as the land he rules; Count Lucinean Galdana is a renowned hunter of fearsome, big game. From their relatively safe homes, the inhabitants of Amaans tell tales about the horrors of the land, including the Hundred Haunted Vales of the Hungry Mountains, and rumours of the restless dead that haunt the Ghorcha Pass.
