South Paladis

{{Infobox Location

}}
[[South Paladis]] is a central region in [[Novia]] that sprawls north of the [[Ash Coast]] of the [[Bay of Storms]]. In times past, its main city was [[Opalis]] which has since fallen into ruin, and may be found along the [[South Broken Road]] between [[Bramble]] and [[Jaanaford]].

To the west beyond the Shattered Hills, it is separated from [[Longfall]] by the [[Fogladden]] River. [[Forsaken Vale]] to the northwest may be accessed either by taking [[Vertas Pass]] between the [[Mariah Mountains]] and the [[Pillars of Night]], or by traversing [[Superstition Canyon]] to the southwest of [[Highvale]].

It is connected with [[North Paladis]] by the [[Sanctus Spine]]. On the northeast, beyond the Hinterlands, it is separated from [[Regalis]] by the [[Serpent's Spine]] mountains. To the east, passage may be made to [[Midmaer]] by passing between the [[Blackblade Range]] and [[Serpent's Spine]] via [[Nightshade Pass]]. The [[Blackblade Foothills]] along [[Northwest Blackblade Mountains]] form the southeastern border of the region.

Along the eastern side of the [[Ash Coast]] where the two branches of the [[Jaana River]] meet is a fishing village called [[Jaanaford]]. Further up along the western branch of the [[Jaana River]] lies [[Bramble]]. The embattled town of [[Highvale]] sits atop a ridge even further up the river, and the stronghold of [[Resolute]] lies in the mountainous regions to the north. On the eastern side of the ford along the [[Ash Coast]] lay the [[Sunless Barrens.]]

On the northern side of the mountainous area between the eastern and western branches of the [[Jaana River]] are the [[Middle Downs]].
