Gydar

Description

Systematically laid waste by its brutish occupants, Gydar is a desolate, dismal land no more than a vast army encampment for its masters of Norg to manipulate and cause trouble on the eastern side of Great River. Its warriors have no fear of The Wastes of Brek-Morne, scour it for outlaw recruits and use it as a means of entering the back doors of Reon and Juloore, from whom they steal cartloads of supplies for Norg. It is run by Norgian Warlord's whose life spans depend upon their abilities to keep up with the quotas - a thankless task.
