Behind the Name
Since the Darian River transits through the heart of the province, it was named Transdariania, a rough translation of the Arangothek words for "crosses the Darian."
Most Noted Geographical Features
Most of the province is composed of the Darian River Valley and the surrounding hills, as well as some of the most fertile farmland in all of Arangoth. Nearly any crop suitable to the climate may be found growing somewhere in the province, but various cereal grains are the dominant crop in the Darian Valley. Dairy farming and viticulture are common in the hill country, and so not surprisingly, Transdariania is also home to several wineries, breweries, and distilleries. Such brands as Kisarx, Gorgon's Horn, and Drekith are native to the region.
