Bannorn

The Bannorn is the name given to the central lowland region in Ferelden. It forms the backbone of Ferelden in terms of both agriculture and population.

The Bannorn posses the largest number of freeholders in Ferelden, many of whom belong to banns. A number of relatively minor lords also reside in the Bannorn and, as a group, they represent a powerful political force. No king, even with his own army, could hope to control the Bannorn by force.

When "bannorn" is spelt with a lowercase “b”, it refers to the land possessed by a bann.
