Name of the Province:The Moor of Pale Giants
Name of your liege:Grimmald sur'Pael,
Blessed by the Sun, Defender of the Rift
Position: The Pale Moors, as many people call the province, lay on the southwestern border of Emperiat. The capital of this province, Paelsomr, is nestled just on the Great Rift, a monstrous valley that connects Emperiat and the Savage Lands.
Specialty: Though they boast a commendable force of warriors, they by no means hold an army – instead, their specialties are in their ability to grow many different types of crops due to the climate of the Pale Moors, and in their well-learned scholars and libraries. They use strategy over force, and apply their knowledge to tilling the lands, and to making grand new inventions.
History: The Pale Moors is a realm of odd, eclectic design. The majority of the land is filled with moors and terraced farms, while giant, sun-bleached mountains jut steeply out of the green landscape, dividing the border of Emperiat and the Savage Lands. Through out the history of the Pale Moors it has been tradition to sculpt these Pale Giants, as they call the mountains, in the likeness of the Grand Kings of Emperiat. In this way the people of the Pale Moors display their fealty to the crown.
The beginnings of this province differ in many historian's books, but one thing seems to hold true throughout: The people who reside here once belonged to the fierce Savage Lands, but they swore allegiance to Emperiat after losing a war. What happened after has been a debate for centuries. Some say that they had rebellions within their people, and those who defied the will of Emperiat were thrown back into the Savage Lands, and that is how their eternal struggle came forth. Others believe that only a select caste were allowed to become part of Emperiat, and the lower caste were left to fend for themselves in the Savage Lands.
Whatever the case may be, the people of the Pale Moors have been at constant war with those who reside in the Savage Lands. In recent years, the attacks from their vigilant foe have been getting increasingly more volatile and insistent.
