Regions

Historically Littland has been divided into many regions, culturally, politically, linguistically and economically. While these regions no longer exist de jure, they are still identifiable in the modern Littland.

  • Tystrup, the lowlands in northern Littland stretching from Aalhavn to east of Kaslund
  • Snaremose, used to describe the area around the source of the Arup River, now mostly farmland
  • Kehlet, old name for the Malskland, seen as a slur towards Malsks (known as "Kehlere"). Was primarily used following the 6 Year War

Some regions still in use today, in the form of counties are Aadal, Tronmark and Sønderland.
