Landscape
Arrendel’s landscape is made up of vast forests and plains, large mountains and mineral deposits on its west borders, and the Sea of Dragons on its east coast.
Population Breakdown
Arrendel is home to a mid sized dwarven hold in the western mountains, there are halfling hillocks located in the foothills under those mountains, though most are un populated due to the actions of Reznik the youngest of the late Kings children. There are also wood elf groves deep in the forest, though they are mostly closed to outsiders due to the hostile actions of the warring heirs.
Current Politics
Arrendel devolved into a civil war in Rush 2296 after the death of its ruler King Arren, with 3 major factions emerging.
- Caulden Arren’s Loyalist’s. Caulden is the eldest son of the late King Arren, and the “Rightful Ruler” of Arrendel. He is in control of all land south of the Rochfort River, Including Saltstone The Capital of Arrendel. His Armies have been mostly defensive thus far, not pushing past the Rochfort River.

Brief History
Previous to King Arren’s rule the area was known as “Sile-easten 1 ” and was claimed by 4 great dragon clans. The clans were all but wiped out during an uprising led by Arren himself, though there are a few small pockets of dragon worshippers in the more isolated regions of Arrendel.
