Droaam

Droaam is a nation of monsters. It is ruled by the Daughters of Sora Kell. Each of these three hags is a legend in her own right, the subjects of tales used to frighten children. Eleven years ago they laid claim to the lands west of the Graywall Mountains and founded the nation of Droaam.
While these barren lands were claimed by Breland, Galifar had never tamed this wild region. It had long been a haven for host of creatures. Gnolls, orcs, and goblins are the most common, but ogres, trolls, harpies, minotaurs, medusas, tieflings, changelings, lycanthropes and many more dwell in this region. In the past these creatures fought one another more often than they raided human settlements. Under the leadership of the Daughters of Sora Kell, they have been given new purpose… and the Daughters use an army of ogres and war trolls to maintain order.
To date, the other nations of Khorvaire have refused to recognize Droaam, and it was not part of the Treaty of Thronehold. Most people believe that it can’t last—that even the Daughters can’t hold this disparate alliance together—but currently it is stronger than ever. Droaam works closely with House Tharashk, selling the services of monstrous soldiers and laborers and bysehk ore, a form of metal with magical properties. Beyond that, it is a frontier nation that is still expanding. As Droaam isn’t bound by the Treaty of Thronehold, it’s become a haven for war criminals and deserters, along with other criminals and mages pursuing forbidden paths of magic.
Many of the monsters that make up Droaam have their own unique subcultures. Most worship the Dark Six, but there are other religious traditions as well.
Interesting Things About Droaam:

• The city of Graywall lies on the border between Droaam and Breland. The second largest city in Droaam, it is a center for trade, a haven for Brelish criminals, and a place where monsters and humans can meet on largely neutral ground.
• The Venomous Demesne is city of tieflings on the western shore of Droaam. It is the largest tiefling community in Khorvaire, with arcane traditions developed over the course of thousands of years.
• Droaam uses the supernatural abilities of its citizens as tools, just as the Five Nations use arcane magic. The Daughters of Sora Kell keep their people fed with troll sausage and use harpy song to quell brawls.
