Brief History Lesson

The Principality of Edmund is the center of the World as you know it. You've lived/grown up here for most of your life. It's a humanocentric pocket of civilization with a fair smattering of all of the "standard" D&D races mixed in. Geographically it is south of the Smokestack Mountains and north of the Silver Sea. To the West lies the forbidding Witch Wood and the dwarf nation of Stonehome. Northeast of here is the magical forest of Everwood. Rumors speak of faeries and a link to the Feywild in the forest.

Historically, the dwarfs of Stonehome and the humans of Edmund are allies against the monstrous humanoids (orcs, goblins, and kobolds) of the Smokestack Mountains. Some time ago (less than 100 years) the dwarfs and humans banded together against a tribe of kobolds called the Razorclaws that united under a great black dragon named Gafir. Jorum Edmund's (current Prince of Edmund) grandfather and King Arnulf Blademeister fought the dragon toe-to-toe. The dragon fled the battle after sustaining serious wounds and has not been seen since. Jonar Edmund died of his wounds after the battle with Gafir.
