Hampshire

Hampshire is the Northwestern region of Nesperia. It is composed of a predominately human population, but the region is bordered by lands home to Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Goliaths, so if ever there was a melting pot of Nesperia, Hampshire is it. The region contains light woods and mild slopes, and is home to Freeport, the largest city in the realm.
