Western Alliance

The Western Alliance is a loose
collection of six petty kingdoms that
occupy the greater portion of the Dale –
an intermediate flatland above the
continent’s central Borean Valley that is
ringed by hills. The Dale is west of the
Kingdom of Ghyr and north of the
Swamp of the Beast. 

Many of the kingdoms of the Western
Alliance have fairly modern culture by
both in-game and real world measures.
Hill giants serve as knights for the most
powerful kings, feudalism is beginning to
set in, and the art of stage magic has
grown before a receptive audience.
On the other hand, there are wild,
primitive populations to the north and
south. These Roags and humanoids look
askance at both the Known Worlders and
the Church of Ghyr, and several druidic
strains are energizing resistance.
