Paramos is a Badlands type of wasteland that is inhospitable for the most part except for the coastal cities that are bordered by a nigh impenetrable wall that guards the inhabitants from the dangerous mainland. The coastal cities utilize any resources obtained from nearby Surlandian countries or via the ocean, and leave the mainland barren and destroyed.

The reasoning behind the state of mainland Paramos is unknown to most, save for those who happen to be old enough to have been there. The mainland is home to raiders and extremely dangerous fauna which dominate the landscape. You need to be a tough motherfucker to eke out a living in the all but abandoned (at least by society) badlands.

Paramos lies in the east side of the continent of Surland, bordering the country of Yoshido which belongs to the continent of Nortalia. Scant denizens have crossed the border from Yoshido into Paramos in order to start a new life, potentially to make it to the west and live comfortably.
