Dargunn is set around a central valley and its surrounding
environs. The Federation of Dargunn is the relatively new government which governs
the inhabitants of Dargunn. It encompasses several geographic regions which are
generally racially homogeneous. In the central valley hobgoblins inhabit the
forests and Humans inhabitant the plains. the northern mountains are inhabited
by a mixture of orcs and generally unsavory humans. The valley of scorched
stone and the blooded wood are inhabited mainly by orcs. Human goat herders
wander the eastern mountain valleys. Dwarves live under the great plateau.
Hobgoblins range through the southern mountains. Humans and Elves live in
scattered villages along the southern coast. The most recent addition to the
federation live in the western wilderness, and are known as the truadon, a
sapient dinosaur breed.
The different regional governments often contend with their
neighbors and refuse to follow the national government. The hobgoblins start
raiding the humans, the dwarves refuse to let people pass through their land,
the goat herds often refuse to participate in government in any way, the
inhabitants of the northern mountains raid caravans, etc.
The central government is located in the central valley at
Gukak, an artificial mountain rising one mile above the valley floor at the
edge of the great Midark forest. This mountain is both a fortress and a city.
It was only recently completed 5 years ago.
Many different religions coexist inside the federation. The
dominant, and government supported, sect is known as the sylvan order. this
religion worships nature ;and the spirits present in the earth and all living
beings. In the city of Wahee the cult of the stone eye is extremely popular.
They worship a a huge naturally occurring eye carved in the side of the
mountain near their city which they claim sees all and grants the priests and
true believers strange mystical powers. the Humans of the valley tend to
participate in a monotheistic religion similar to Christianity. The goat
herders worship a diverse pantheon tied to the location where the tribe may be
camped. There are gods of specific mountains, and rivers, and forests, and
these gods may be very different for different tribes.
