Isildor

As long as Isildor has existed, it’s been defined by its neighbor, Raverna. First founded by Ravernans fleeing west during an ancient period of political instability, Isildor’s ruling families have always resisted periodic attempts at Ravernan rule. Thanks to some questionable ancient genealogies, some of Isildor’s rulers have claimed to be the rightful kings of both countries, sparking wars back and forth across the Karak river.

Thanks to its proximity to what is now the Ithronel Wildlands, Isildor has a significant half-elf population, even more than the other Western nations. Elvish culture is an important part of Isildan society, and now that the elves themselves have fled the world, they’re the only nation that still makes use of the Elvish script and language in formal settings and everyday life, specifically the dialect known as Low Elvish.
