>>32891543I'd suggest to amend it that rather than being equivalent to the hostile schizo wastes, those areas are "largely undefined" in terms of lore - yes, they have villages, farms, towns, even big cities, but you should not define them. So instead of devastated land roamed by hostile barbarians, you get patches of developed and undeveloped land that are as generic as possible. Essentially, say that the writers who'd want to describe travel through those lands would have to write events that could happen anywhere, as not to conflict future lore.
