Austland

Austland is a nation shaped by duty, loyalty, and industriousness. Born from a legacy of unity after the collapse of The Golden Empire, it thrives on a strong work ethic, craftsmanship, and community solidarity.
Austland endured political fragmentation following the Empire’s fall, with noble houses and warlords vying for control. From this chaos, Heimar the Just emerged, uniting the land under the banner of duty. This legacy of honor continues in Austland’s modern identity, with its strength coming from the collective effort of its people.
Austland’s relationship with the Dwarven Kingdom of Tharûdrim has fostered a deep respect for craftsmanship. Austlanders have learned from the dwarves’ expertise in metallurgy, engineering, and metalworking, making them global leaders in industries such as textiles and engineering. The nation’s artisan traditions are highly valued for precision and quality.
Today, this industrious spirit permeates daily life, from the cities of Vornheim and Fenstad to rural villages. Austlanders believe their labor benefits the whole community, and their commitment to producing high-quality goods and maintaining infrastructure is evident. The nation thrives on personal and collective responsibility.
Honor and duty remain central to Austland’s values, with loyalty to family, community, and country at the core. These traditions continue, even as the nation embraces modern advancements. Austlanders maintain strong familial bonds and local ties, with guilds, villages, and families playing essential roles in the nation’s fabric.
