Wildemount

Encompassing a varied and geologically diverse environment,

the continent of Wildemount can be reached to the

Northeast of Tal’Dorei, though traversing the Lucidian

Ocean to get there involves treacherous waters, opportunistic

pirates, and underwater monsters ever hunting for

prey. Such a journey leads to the massive port down of

Port Damali, a prosperous city where most anything is

legal, largely run and puppeteered by the Myriad.

Further east leads the traveler to the massive Dreemoth

Ravine, where the once-enslaved Ravinite Dragonborn

rebuild their civilization from the ruins of the fallen Draconia.

These two societies exist on the outskirts of the

region known as Wynandir, a realm divided between a

bordering pair of civilizations. First stands the mighty and

far-reaching rule of King Bertrand Dwendal, sovereign

ruler over Western Wynandir as the King of the Dwendalian

Empire.

The Dwendalian Empire is known far and wide for its

powerful military, disdain for religious practices, bleak

weather, and totalitarian rule. Religious worship is considered

taboo, the society publicly casting the divine magics

aside as trickery to control the foolish. Dwendalians

have adopted the ideals of the long-past Age of Arcanum,

exalting the powers of mortal magics and ingenuity

over claims of miracles and holy influence. Citizens of

the empire pay extensive taxes to the crown while being

required to maintain absolute loyalty. This has led to a

social atmosphere that can range from tense to dreary.

With such impositions placed upon the populace, few

argue that the protections against the dark and hungry

world beyond the borders of the empire make up for the

stark control placed upon their lives. Even so, tensions

ever brim beneath the surface, and with the growing

neglect of the crown towards the creeping curse of

undeath in the east, whispers of dissent continue to grow.

Across the Eastern borders of the Dwendalian Empire

lay the lands of Xhorhas, a smaller empire built on the

ruins of Ghor Dranas, the ancient city of the betrayer

gods. A bleak landscape with little resources of value, the

Dwendalian Empire generally minds its own borders,

away from the mysterious and misunderstood rule of the

Empress Leylas Kryn and her “wasteland” of the Xhorhas

Empire. However, recent attacks on outlier townships on

both sides of Wynandir threaten to brew conflict between

the two nations.
