The Realm of ShadowMist

Most of the population of ShadowMist is in the northwest of the land. The area claimed by ShadowMist is surrounded by mountains, wild magic forests, swamps, and deserts. The people range from nomadic herding tribes, to outlanders and their offspring who arrived seeking a new life “taming” the land.

• Many of the tribes in the north are Celtic and are descended from the Barbarian Tribes who overran the land thousands of years ago when the sorceress Gwen Ap’Torillia called down the magic final strike that created the mountains and the tainted wild magic areas.
  

• The southern area is inhabited by more nomadic tribes that came over the foothills from the desert.
  

• ShadowMist Keep and Riverton were settled by outlanders.
  

• The Abbey of St. Michael was founded by Brother Fredrik, the second leader of the unified kingdom two years after founding (AF).
  

• The lands around Fhearchair Keep belong to Baroness Aislinn nic Fhearchair. The Fhearchair Barony extends down almost to ShadowMist Keep and west into the wild magic forest.
  

• In the northwest corner is a section of woods called the Black Oak Woods. This area also has a large amount of wild magic. The Dryads there are very strange and do not often consort with humans.
  

• In the southeast of the Kingdom, the River Shwill empties into a large swamp. The few occupants of that swamp are very clannish and very few people visit that swamp.
  

• There is said to be an enclave of elves in the foothills southwest of the swamp, but this is unproven.
  

• There are also small bands of Goblins in the wild magic forest who sometimes will raid the farms in the eastern sector of the kingdom.
