History

Northeastern lands, home of the Dhuarvean (Dwarves) and the Nordachs (Humans). Although they typically get along fairly well the capital is sometimes contested between these two factions and will change hands. Founded by the Dhuarvean, the capital city is Spaid Caisteal, when the Nordachs made their way to Claidheamh they brought with them their gods and customs, forming a relationship with the Dhuarvean talking on their language Claddach as their own. When the four kingdoms were united at Stella Aureum all four kingdoms were under human control, as a result all four dominions officially adopted the common tongue and the religion of the Ancient Light. Most Dhuarvean continue to follow the old gods and speak Claddach, however they traditionally know common and some have chosen to follow the Ancient Light.
