Wildemount

Encompassing a varied and geologically diverse environment, the continent of Wildemount stretches close to the northeastern corner of Tal'Dorei, though traversing the Lucidian Ocean to get there involves treacherous waters, opportunistic pirates, and underwater monsters ever hunting for prey. Such a journey leads to the massive port town of Port Damali, a prosperous city where most everything is legal, largely run and puppeteered by the Myriad.   Farther east lies the massive Dreemoth Ravine, where the once-enslaved Ravenite dragonborn rebuild their civilization from the ruins of the fallen Draconia. These two societies exist on the outskirts of the region known as Wynandir, a realm divided between a bordering pair of civilizations. First stands the mighty and far-reaching rule of King Bertrand Dwendal, sovereign ruler over Western Wynandir as the king of the Dwendalian Empire.   The Dwendalian Empire is known far and wide for its powerful military, disdain for religious practicies, bleak weather, and totalitarian rule. Religious worship is considered taboo, the society publicly casting divine magics aside as trickery to control the foolish. Dwendalians have adopted the ideals of the long-past Age of Arcanum, exalting the powers of mortal magics and ingenuity over claims of miracles and holy influence. Citizens of the empire pay extensive taxes to the crown, which demands absolute loyalty. This has led to a social atmosphere that can range from tense to dreary. With such impositions placed upon the populace, few argue that the protections against the dark and hungry world beyond the borders of the empire make up for the stark control placed upon their lives. Even so, tensions ever brim beneath the surface, and with the recent outbreak of war in response to the creeping curse of undeath in the east, whispers of dissent continue to grow.   Across the eastern borders of the Dwendalian Empire lie the lands of Xhorhas, a smaller empire built on the ruins of Ghor Dranas, the ancient city of the Betrayer Gods. As Xhorhas offers a bleak landscape with few resources of valuable readily apparent to outsiders, until recently the Dwendalian Empire generally minded its own borders, away from the mysterious and misunderstood rule of the Empress Leylas Kryn and her "wasteland" of the Kryn Dynasty. However, recent attacks on outlier townships on both sides of Wynandir have escalated to sudden and violent war between the two nations.
