Gertia
Gertia is a huge island west to the continent of Lardon, which is a home for different cultures and races. It is a beautiful land of fields and forests in the east, and mountains in the west. It is filled with rivers and fertile earth, which imminently attracted settlers from lardon when it was discovered six-hundred years ago. Aside of these settlers, Gertia is home for the dwarves, the giants and the halflings.
This island is halved in the middle by a huge river, and sort of looks as two pieces of the same puzzle – it is unknown if the phenomena is natural or magical -the dwarves believe it was a deed done by the god Imadan to protect their land in times of the Draco-Giant wars. Compared to our world, Gertia is about the size of the British islands.
Conflict
In days past, it seemed that Orlando and The merchant alliance will find themselves at inevidable war. After the great war took place and both sides took heavy casualties, it is clear that war will not take place in the next century – the conflict is now one of economy and ideology between the two. Will war break out eventually? The dwarves on the western part of Gertia in Monta-ves have their own conflicts and prefer not to have strangers snooping in it: these small battles are usually about underground territory of small city states, for the dwarven hemisphere was never united into one kingdom. During the great war, the dwarves didn’t join the fight against the orcs. The other nations of Gertia did not forget that, butt dwarves doesn’t seem to care.Antiquity
For thousands of years, Gertia was ruled by the ancient royalty of Giants and Goliath, with dwarves halflings and humans serving as their peasants – their kingdom roamed from the caves of Monta-Ves to the forests of Sherwood. These were dark times of inequality and slavery – the smaller races needed to feed and build the homes for the bigger races. A millennium ago, a mysterious and foreign creatures invaded from across the southern sea: It was the first and only time Terrea beheld the majestic dragons. During this period called the Draco-Giant war, the dragons destroyed most of the giant’s civilization, and then disappeared. Leaving room for Orlando’s army to invade 300 years later. The giant’s and dragon’s civilizations ruins remain in Gertia and the plunder islands to these days.
