The Upplands

The home of the Dwarves outside of The Vale. The Upplands was constructed about 1500 years ago, after the dwarves fled Aglarond, The Glittering Chambers. It is a settlement hewn from the mountains far to the south east of Anglwyrd Crossing and is an organised, strong and structured society with a population in excess of 5000 people.
The Upplands are ruled by the Quintarchy made up of Argold’s Folk, Nimrod’s Folk, Ravanag’s Folk, Uri’s Folk, and Yndaro’s Folk.
