Veluntian Dalelands
The Veluntian Dalelands are one of the newest frontiers for human settlement. Originally planned to be shared between the 3 major continental Dalelands, the Veluntians have long been primarley ruled by the Viscounty that also oversees and rules the Southern Dalelands. Even with the technical oversight of the Viscounty, the Veluntian settlements have been allowed autonomy and the ability to decided how to best govern themselves. This has resulted in the central city of Coghill becoming the regional Capital by the locals.
Relations with the homelands has remained strong, despite tensions of rising taxes that mainly has to do with the local threats on the primal continent, the gretest of these being the slaver empire of dragons, the Third Admer Empire.
