| ARCHDUCHY OF WIRMADDIN |
|
The Archduchy of Wirmaddin lies
far to the south, beyond Leddim Thear. The people are excellent and
famous sailors and are in league with the Goblins of Bledoth. The men of
Wirmaddin are strange because they have tentacle-like fingers and when
they sail into the north to trade with such places as Imradd and Anguin,
they often wear gloves to disguise this deformity. The Archduke, of
course, has the same odd hands. He is a peaceful and kind man and it is
he who negotiated never-ending peace with the goblins of Bledoth. The
two countries co-operate in trade; the men of Wirmaddin providing the
sailors and the goblins the merchants to carry out a very successful
partnership all up the eastern seaboard as far as Gorglis. |
