Go South

Ruled by Prince Minloth, this country is occupied by horsemen who migrate back and forth across the Northern plain following the good grazing for their herds of horses.

This steep ravine was the site of a famous battle north of Puggor.

NORTHERN PLAIN

This is a large plain to the north of Puggor it is principally occupied by the men of Pellin and their herds of horses. There are colonies of the dangerous plains apes to be found there in the more remote areas.

THE GREAT SINK

This large, marshy depression with a small lake at its centre lies to the south of Pellin. It is a damp and unpleasant place and on the shore of the lake is a settlement called Raz Tark.

RAZ TARK

Bandits and outlaws occupy this small shantytown in the Great Sink. None of the buildings are permanent, being mostly tents or wooden huts, and the number of occupants varies considerably from time to time.

KINGDOM OF PUGGOR

A dwarvish kingdom made up of the Bledin, Tharhold and Gothar Holds.

THARHOLD

A dwarvish hold in Puggor, famed for its engineers and siege engines, Tharhold is the 7^th House of the Dwarves.

BLEDIN

This is the principle hold and capital of the dwarvish kingdom of Puggor and is occupied by the Third House of the Dwarves. Named after the ancient king, Bledin the first (all kings of Puggor have since been called Bledin). It is one of the few dwarvish holds that can still be called prosperous, although not expanding it can still hold its own in position and influence.

As one might expect, the Dwarves of Bledin produce armour and weapons of high quality, as well as other metal and stone artifacts. There is usually a wagon or mule train of such merchandise leaving the underground city every week, heading for either North Redune or east to the coast where the goods are then transported by sea to Athon or Anguin.

Although they herd sheep and goats, the dwarves are generally reliant on their neighbours for food and import grain, fruit, meat and etc. from North Redune. Also wine comes up from further south and livestock is purchased from Pellin and so on.

GOTHAR

A dwarvish hold in Puggor, famed for its iron mines and foundries. Gothar is the 12^th House of the Dwarves.

MALTRAY

A poor village in North Redune, Maltray is famous only for being raided regularly by the brigands who have their refuge in nearby Raz Tark. This may be the reason for their poverty!

NARB END

This small village in the North Redune is an unlikely place to visit, for Narb End is very sleepy and poor. The inhabitants of the village wish to live on the north side of the river, astride the road running from Linkholm to Puggor. But the beasts and brigands from the plains come raiding often, and so the village stands on the south side of the river, protected by its deep and fast flowing waters.  

It is a common sight, on the road to the north of the river, to see men and women of Narb End begging travelers and merchants to: “Just step onto our fine ferry and come sup some ale in Narb End.” Generally, unless the traveler is an innocent or generous, he will continue on his way to much better villages and inns further along the way.
