[QUOTE="scpna, post: 1317714, member: 8545"] [b]Some more geography and history[/b] Here is information on the area immediately to the southeast of Grak's Deep. The country of Aldun, right to the east of the city, is one of the fragments of the old Capasian kingdom. [B]The Heartlands:[/B] The center of civilization, the Heartlands are considered to be the core of the world both economically and culturally, especially by Heartlanders. The area known as the Heartlands was once part of the Empire of Kalgir, which was allied with demons from the Abyss. After years of terrorizing the world, Kalgir was defeated by an alliance of the nations in the Shieldlands. After this fall, the region broke apart into small provinces controlled by various warlords. The infighting between warlords continued for about 30 years before the new nations stabilized in 3630 PD. The most powerful nation in the area was Capasia, and it slowly managed to annex most of the Heartlands within the next 100 years. During that time, the Capasian culture was refined from the "barbaric" culture of the rest of the north, to the "epitome of civilization". Influenced by both the high elves of Arivanna and the Vel'unic (southern human) culture of the Shining Lands, they have given up on the tradition of the knight, view paladins as archaic, and dislike anyone not finely polished in the social arts. Heavy armor has been restricted to museums and rapiers and crossbows are the weapons of choice. Then about 10 years ago, the Kingdom of Capasia fell apart. The king died and many of the nobles refused to follow his young wife, Ara Trothnar. This caused a civil war in 3751, and Capasia is now broken into numerous smaller kingdoms. War changed some of the views of the area, chainmail shirts and breastplates are once again being seen on soldiers and polearms are being carried by guardsmen. For the most part though, the people continue to arrogantly believe that they are the greatest culture in the world. [/QUOTE]
