The Dominion of Blackhold

Blackhold

Background

Ancient Ornell

The Realm of Ornell - old Suel principality - Hil-Doral (ancient name for Blackhold)

Origins: (Outcasts +2 Social) Weary of the rampant corruption in the city states of the Wild Coast, settlers made a home near the ruins of the old Suel city of Hil-Doral. They came here to start a new city, one where they would be in the ascendant, and this sense of shared burden before an unfriendly world has given them strong social bonds.

Activities: (Martial Tradition +2 Military) The locals fight, have fought, and will fight again. Every family can boast of its scars and sacrifices, and the trade of the blade is honored and cultivated by the natives. Unlike simple nests of unruly rabble, these locals have some deeper tradition to organize and focus their martial exertions. Even the dullest commoner can be expected to know the rudiments of handling a spear and maneuvering to the sound of drums, trumpets and gongs.
