New Hanover Territory
New Hanover territory is the second-largest territory located in Saint's Crossing.
Description
New Hanover is characterized by dense forests and open plains, comprised of three regions: northeast is where the densely forested Cumberland Forest is located; right in the center are the prairie plains of The Heartlands; to the east is the hilly and foggy Roanoke Ridge.
Much like the state of New Austin, the territory is in the process of modernization and it is not fully settled yet, with only two towns (Valentine and Annesburg) and the small, run-down settlement of Van Horn. Despite that, there are numerous ranches and homesteads dotted around the state due to its lush and fertile grassland, most notably Emerald Ranch. The state's name is of German origin, as is Annesburg.
It is the second largest territory in Saint's Crossing and, as such, there is a notable amount of wildlife and outlaws roaming its rural regions. In the heart of the state are the oilfields and factory of Cornwall Kerosene & Tar.
Geography
New Hanover is bordered by Flat Iron Lake to the southwest and the Dakota River separating Ambarino and New Hanover to the northeast, Lemoyne to the south, and the Grizzlies East to the east, bordering Cumberland Forest and Roanoke Ridge.
Cumberland Forest lies less elevated compared to Grizzlies East, and serves as a transition between the mountainous woodlands from the plains. The region is one of the smallest in the game.
Roanoke Ridge lies near the Lannahechee River and is an area of deciduous woodland, often covered in mist. It features a thriving mining industry, as evident in both Annesburg and some of the villages.
The Heartlands are characterized by rolling hills and plains. It is not so highly elevated compared to other regions, aside from the buttes in the heart of the area and the riverbanks near the Dakota River.
