History
Southwestern lands, home of the Tuathadan (High Elves), Tuathageis (Wood Elves), Fomoridan (Dark Elves), Leaf-Tua (Half-Elves), Ollphéist (Orcs), Leaf-Oll (Half-Orcs), and Fears (Humans). The capital is often contested between the Tuathadan and the Fears, and will often change hands. The capital Dún Seamair was founded by the Tuathadan, and is built into a huge tree. The Tuathadan speak Dearcath and have kept the old gods of their ancestors, both of which they have shared with the Fears and the other inhabitants of Dearcún. 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 Tuathadan continue to follow the old gods and speak Dearcath, some however have learned common and some have chosen to follow the Ancient Light.
