Lohwand: Dunland and the Exiles, the Mapping Continues...

 

The mapping continues...

Dunland lies in the mountains to the North of the Tharkallan heartland provinces. Home to the Dunlending hill tribes that have sometimes been a thorn in the side of Tharkalla. The forested, broken hills atop the Nantgali Plateau have thus far offered safe refuge from Tharkalla's wrath. The cliffs of Nantgali are passable to large forces in only a few places that are easily defensible; in contrast, Dunland raiders know many secret ways that enable them to run rings around there less nimble foe.

Each tribal area represents the lands of one of the great clans, up to a dozen lesser clans, and has a walled town as its capital. Kerk is the seat of the current King of Dunland.

The Exiles are descendants of the Nemedians who fled the Tharkallan invasion of their country sixty years ago. Their lands used to belong to Dunlendings, but they drove out the clan that formerly occupied Wintertop and have held off all attempts to retake it ever since. They are now so entrenched that not even the Tharkallan army could pry them loose, and it has tried several times!

To the west of Dunland lies Dorastor and the Bossonian Marches. I've also been mapmaking there...
