Earthly Affairs
[edit | edit source]Weiden draws inspiration from early chivalry in Medieval Germany as well as Arthurian legend. Also, the extensive cattle and horse breeding are reminiscent of the Wild West.
In TDE4 this region was translated to "Duchy of Meadows". Publications of the fifth edition use "Duchy of Weiden".
