The map of Peopled Lands
The Fantasy world of Soeliok
Their name is derived from the word Knhèg Ark, literally “living rock”. They have been prisoners among the insurmountable peaks of the Norkiak mountain chain for thousands of years.
Expert sailors and skilled warriors, they conquered their empire thanks to a lethal army led by HelGrov, Lone Emperor of all the dwarves.
They’re peaceful and fervent travellers. The names of their villages are always written in small letters on the maps and there is no easy path to reach them.
Their kingdom originally occupied a central area which now extends itself from the sea to the mountains. They built roads, bridges, aqueducts, ports, dams and all kinds of infrastructures which helped them in developing trade.
They’re mysterious gigantic beings with a furry mantle that covers them almost entirely. They live in the depths of the earth and only come to the surface to hunt.
It’s a rather young civilization that derives from the union of men and elves. They inhabit the Sunlands to the south-east of the Peopled Lands and build their cities in the woods. They have incredible athletic skills and a highly developed eyesight.
A legendary ancient species of mysterious origins. All the peoples of the Settled Lands know about them, but no one remembers the last time one was actually seen.
All the people tell of these wonderful and feared winged beings in tales and songs.
The civilizations that inhabit the Peopled Lands have very different histories and cultures.
