The Musogradian Region of Sprijland

Geography and Location

Sprijland is a narrow, fertile region situated east of the Goralni Mountains, forming a vital corridor between the mountainous city of Goralnigrad and the autonomous Musanian capital, Balangrad City. This small strip of land lies along the southern bank of the Sprij River, with the Goralna River flowing through it before merging with the Sprij at the border of the Balangrad Capital Territory.
