Oman

I can feel the pain of Oman though I never set foot on it. Even the Norls are hesitant to land on its shores and this was once their greatest stronghold. The giants, who claim Oman as their home, have no respect for the Earthmoth-er. They have polluted her wells and cut her trees. As we sailed close to the island, I could feel it like a knife in my gut. The call of the Earthmother has its downsides. I do not know if I wish this gift. -- Journal of Kwente-Nerys.
The island of Oman was once a center of Northlander power and culture. The more peaceful clans worked together to turn Oman into a place where the residents could make a living through shipbuilding, farming, hunt-ing, and fishing – eschewing the desire to raid and pillage nearby settlements. A time of prosperity graced the lands, and the Treaty of Oman sealed an era of peace that finally led to the joining of the Northlanders and Ffolk under the banner of House Kendrick. However, soon after the establishment of the Unified Moonshae Isles, fomorians from the Feywild realm of Vor Thomil joined with the firbolgs of the Grampalt High-lands. These forces, bolstered by lesser monsters, eventu-ally wiped out all remnants of civilized settlements on the island. Today, valuable resources such a gold, iron, and timber are locked away in the island, but no one can reach them for the terrible giant rulers of the land. All attempts to re-establish a foothold on the island by Northlanders, Ffolk, or even Amnian mercenaries have been foiled and exterminated with terrible violence. The power behind the fomorians is Queen Conno-mae of the Feywild realm of Vor Thomil. She has found passage between the two planes, and she hopes that ex-panding her empire to the island of Oman (and elsewhere in the Moonshaes) will give her an advantage against her enemies. Her main goal is to gain slaves and troops to send back to the Feywild, so that she might more easily conquer the city of Shinaelestra there.
