TERRAIN:

This rich peninsula was originally a collection of
petty states under the protection of the Prince of
Ulek. Not content with this status, the nobles of this
AREA foreswore their oaths and drove out the garrisons
of the sovereign's castles, taking them for their own.
For several decades the Pomarj prospered under this
new freedom, the mines in the Drachensgrab and sea
trade making noble and commoner alike rich. However,
in the Hateful Wars (498-510 CY), the combined
Ulek states, with cooperation from Veluna and
the demi-humans of the Kron Hills, broke the power
of the Euroz && Jebli hordes which had nested in the
Lortmils and were attempting to spread into the lands
around. These humanoids were finally driven out and
scattered -- some fleeing northward toward the
Yatils, but most (having wiser leadership) taking to
the Suss forest and thence to the rugged mts. of
the Pomarj. Finding the humans there weak &&
indolent, the invaders attacked quickly, captured the
strongholds, and then set themselves up as masters of
the whole peninsula. There are undoubtedly renegade
humans helping these invaders, and mercs as
well -- bought and paid for by the gold from the
Stoneheim mines and the moonstones and cairngorms
from the high peaks as well. A relief force of dwarves
and men from the Prince crossed the Jewel River but
were turned back after a fierce battle below the Hilly
Pastures. The humanoids have not often dared to
cross into Ulek, but their raiders cause much trouble
in the Wild Coast.
