Karrnath

From DeadGoblins

Karrnath is one of the Five Nations of Galifar, located in northern Khorvaire. Karrnath is a dictatorship and uses the undead for combat.

History

In 894 YK, King Kaius I, ruler of Karrnath, joined with his siblings in rejecting Mishann of Cyre’s claim to the crown. Food shortages and plagues quickly undermined Karrnath’s military prowess, however, forcing the nation to use necromance to raise undead soldiers from those fallen in battle. These dark reinforcements came at a terrible price, and Karrnath’s reputation suffered greatly as a result.

Nature

Karrnath controls lands north of the Mournland and the Talenta Plains, stretching down from the shores of Karrn Bay between Scions Sound to the west and the Ironroot Mountains to the east. Dense forest covers most of its western holdings, including the massive Karrnwood and the dark Nightwood. The Ashen Spires rise in the nation’s heart, while the eastern Icetop Mountains lead to the Ironroots beyond. In the southeast, the forested countryside gives way to vast rolling hills and grasslands until it joins the Talenta Plains.
