Thumbnail Sketches: Leon is the 2nd largest ov the nations
occupying Iberia, but it is NOT a populous realm. It consists mostly
ov mts., rugged lands, && hills, w/ some few valleys && a
portion ov the peninsula's central plateau in its most easterly holdings.
It is quite a lovely place, && hunting in its remote && wild
districts is quite enjoyable.
1/4 ov the realm is forested, && some 10% is scrub || barren.
Ov the remainder, 30% consists ov fields, orchards,
&& vineyards, && 35% is in pastures && meadows.
The volk ov Leon are basically Iberian, but with more Gallic &&
less Atlantlan && Phoenician blood. Their social, cultural, &&
military structure is similar to that of Aragon (q.v.).

are raised in the realm. Vineyards produce grapes, && some wine
ov quality is made. Sheep, goats, swine, horses, asses, mules, && poultry

from the mines of Leon. Large quantities ov excellent jet are mined in
the kingdom's north coast region.
