The Ironlands is a vast peninsula in the northern ocean. The people who now refer to themselves as Ironlanders settled here two generations ago, cast out of their homelands by a catastrophic event. Since that time, they have survived but not prospered. The Ironlands are a harsh, dangerous place. The winters are long and brutal. Harvests are uncertain. The Old World could no longer sustain us, we had felled the trees and stripped the land bare... This new land is peppered with strange iron pillars that no blade can mar. The Iron Priests worship them and they are said to have strange powers... Before men, before even the Firstborn, another race called the Ironlands home... Previous human settlers came to the Ironlands, but something went wrong and they were Broken... The Havens are the heart of the Ironlands, with culture and government. Things become more wild near the edges however. The Havens' Council established the Wardens, warriors and peacekeepers, to keep the Havens and surrounding areas safe. In times of need, most villages can raise a warband to defend themselves.
