Brown Lands

During Sauron's first war he adopted the 'scorched earth' policy and destroyed everything he could find whilst his dark army withdrew from the west. The Brown Lands are the result of that meaningless destruction, a desolate area scattered with boulders and dead oak trees. It is covered in scrubby grass and is rather dull. It is extremely similar to the Dead Marshes, another place ruined by Sauron, other than the fact that there is very little water here.

The biome variant Brown Lands Woodlands contains a greater density of dead trees and fallen logs.
