The Prospect of a series of non wizard ruled Baronies down the east border just inside the Steppes. Will these Shield Baronies become the new and Expanding Glantri? Will hopefuls pour into the Steppes to conquer a no-mans-land? Your thoughts are welcome in this future.

They would then utilize both magical and military defenses to protect themselves, likely bolstered with mercenaries and monsters. The more I think about it, this could be a basis for an interesting campaign twist involving magic-user students in Glantri. Gaining access into the Great School of Magic, learning and first adventures, political developments, vying for a noble estate (on the border, of course), and then defense and research-quests (Consider this a tie-in to your 'campaign ideas' thread ;) ).
