<p>This vast tract of forest swamp lies in the crater of an ancient volcano, and is fed by the many rivers and streams that flow down from the encircling hills and mountains. Ferocious monsters, the legacy of the Agarashi empire, control the swamp and occasionally raid the freelands of Talestria. It is said that the lost temple of the Elder Magi still stands at the heart of the Danarg, but as yet these rumours have not been confirmed.</p>

<p>The hills of Ghatan have harboured creatures of evil since the dark days of the Agarashi empire. Nothing grows in the sulphurous soil, except for the twisted trees that border upon the source of the Hellswamp. In <span class="caps">MS</span> 2801, Ghatan was overrun by the Drakkarim who, in the midst of this desolation, constructed the city of Torgar for the grim purpose of imprisoning and torturing their enemies. In <span class="caps">MS</span> 3150, when the Drakkarim allied themselves to the Darklords, Torgar came under Darklord control.</p>

<p>Following the creation of Bhanar during the Great Civil War (<span class="caps">MS</span> 1620), the Imperial Autarch set about the expansion of his empire. In the north, vast tracts of dense timberland were laid bare and the city of Sejanoz built in his honour. Rumour is rife that the Imperial Autarch has entered into a pact with the demonic creatures of Naaros: it is based on the fact that Autarch Sejanoz has not aged a day since the completion of the city, over 3000 years ago.</p>

<p>Formally ruled by the corrupt household of Mesanna, this principality suffered its ruthless leadership for several centuries. The populace grew weaker and poorer as the Lords of Mesanna hoarded the wealth of the jadin-rich Shuri Mountains. They entered into an alliance with the evil forces of the Shadakine Empire, but were betrayed during the War of the Winds. For the Shadakine invaded and took control of the Mesanna palace in Forlu, throwing the former corrupt rulers to the angry citizens.</p>

<p>The Drodarin giants of Starn have occupied the halls of Mount Vost ever since the Age of the Old Kingdoms. They are an insular race who have shunned all contact with humans since the Great Plague of 2514 <span class="caps">MS</span> devastated their population.

<p>The peoples who settled in this territory at the source of the River Storn were mixed groups of Vaderish and Aluvian origin. The ore-rich mountains of its northern provinces were extensively mined, and brought great wealth to its people. However, the treasures of Magador soon attracted outlaw bands and robber-barons who fought for possession of the land. In <span class="caps">MS</span> 3657, the royal household was murdered, and the pretender Prince Dolgorn acceded to the throne.

<p>This rich and powerful empire owes its wealth and status to the ruthless imperialism of the Black Zakhan, a former ruler, of Vassagonia. Under his iron rule, the nomadic Vassa tribes of the Dry Main united and waged war on their weaker neighbours, capturing much land and many resources in the north and west. The current ruler is old and has no heir to claim his throne<ch.emdash/>one of the richest thrones in all of Magnamund.</p>

<p>Formerly a collection of remote city states which were defeated and subsequently ruled over by the invading nomads of the Sadi desert, this nation rose to power under the rulership of Shasarak the Wytch-king. Its capital was built to celebrate the unification of the Vassa and Sadi peoples, and to mark the fall of Jazer, the original province of Shadaki. Shasarak dedicated himself to the expansion of the realm building a mighty iron-clad fleet in preparation for the War of the Winds. Victory in this war brought the downfall of the neighbouring states and their occupation by Shadakine armies. Elated by victory, the Shadakine empire chose to declare war on their distant relatives<ch.emdash/>the Vassagonians of Northern Magnamund. A massive invasion ended in disaster for the Shadaki at the Battle of the Tentarium, in which both the fleet and the army were devastated. This disastrous war paved the way for rebellion among its subjugated neighbours, and led to the uprising of Karnali.</p>
