The members of the ruling family, House Kurn, are well-established and somewhat beloved. In the course of decades of war against the Iron Horde, the Kurns paupered themselves and their vassals to hold the kingdom together. The borders fell back. Since the Horde fell apart, the Kurn's have been making a comeback, but their once solid grasp on the reins of power are now shared with various Church and Trading factors. Only the Kurn's relationships the Forge clans has allowed them to hang on. Major Cities: Valen, ??, ?? Major Exports: Ore, Metals, ??, ?? Racial composition: 70% human, 10% dwarves, 10% halflings, 10% other Notable Geography: Bounded on the north by the Northern Sea; the east by the volcanic Dragonrange mountains; the south by the Graymarch mountains; and the west by now-wild moors, marshes, forests and hills, including the Whisperwood. Other Notes: There is a great temple to Pelor in Valen. ------- Ravenshadow WoodThe Ravenshadow Wood, a fey-touched forest in the northwest, is home to the small eladrin city-state Landrahal. Landrahal appears in Ravenshadow at semi-regular intervals throughout the year. The area is distinguised from other forests in the area by the presence of ebontrees, arborial scions from the Feywild, that give the forest its name. The eladrin who live on this side of the Feywild are ambassadors, tradesmen and affiliates of the Academy. The Academy's most famed alumni are the Blade Knights. Major City: Landrahal Major Exports: Ebonwood Racial composition: 90% eladrin, 10% other Notable Geography: Bounded on the north and west by the Northern Sea; the south by the Darkmoor; the east by Tyral. ------- WhisperwoodThe Whisperwood is an elven protectorate. A 'protectorate' in the sense that the elves are xenophobic and trespassers through their lands seldom leave. Very little is known of the elves here, though rumors persist of a great font of power at the heart of the forest Kindom. Major Cities: Unknown Major Exports: None Racial composition: Unknown Notable Geography: Bounded on the north by the Darkmoor and the Ravenshadow Wood; the by Tyral; the soth by the Graymarch mountains. ------- DragonrangeThe Dragonrange elves are a nomadic tribe that run the slopes and forests of the northern reaches of the Dragonrange mountains. Less hostile than their Whisperwood brethren, the Dragonrange elves are still largely insular. Major Cities: None Major Exports: Pelts, Weapons Racial composition: 95% elves, 5% other Notable Geography: Bounded on the north and east by the Golden Steppes; the west by Tyral; the south by the Graymarch mountains.  StonehomeCity-state, temp temp temp. A somewhat strungout series of dwarven settlements all under the governance of Stonehome. Forge clans live deep beneath the earth while other clans live partly undeground and partly above-ground. And still others rarely venture underground. Humans (mostly from Tyral) and others live in the above-ground portions of the scattered city. Major Cities: Stonehome Major Exports: Ore, Metals, Gems, Forged items, ?? Racial composition: 85% dwarves, 5% humans, 5% other Notable Geography: Stonehome is located in the Dragonrange mountains to the east of Tyral. ------- Xar'gonDefunct drow city.
