Soruin was the most sparsely-populated region in all of Aelantir prior to the Age of Unraveling. Agriculture was only practiced in a few places, and cities were non-existent. The Soruinic peoples still remaining speak a language similar to those in the jungles of Effelai, although more simple, and adopting more Cannorian words into their language. It is mainly jungle, with a few forests that are connected to the jungle in Effelai. The colonizers settling the region created large plantations, with thousands of slaves. To this day, the region's population has many orcs, dating back to the plantation era.
