Lands:
Dùnan Gael (DOO-nahn Gay-ehl): The Kingdom of Wind
The House of Wind’s lands stretch across northeastern Ellandria and the Black Mountains. There are seven provinces, each named for its distinguishing features (or its dominant glenn.)
Èthirr (EH-theer)- the coastlands, led by Lady Eilís
Ardríoch–(ard-REE-ock) the highlands, led by Lord Arran
Galdríoch– (gal-DREE-ock) the lowlands, led by Lord Talfryn
Glenn Gael– (glehn GAY-ehl) the central village of Clann Gael, led by Lord Gareff
Glenn Areth– (glehn AYR-eth) village led by Lady Catríona
Glenn Muirren– (glenn-M’YOOR-ehn) village led by Lord Liam, Lyanna’s brother
Glenn Briath– (glenn BREE-ahth) village led by Lord Eoghan, Dagmar’s family lives here
Other locations of note:
Mordù Geil–(MOR-doo G’EHL) the Sea of Despair, a body of water north of the Black Mountains known for its harsh, unforgiving weather and icy waters. Its black sands yield riches beyond compare: iron ore, magnetite, and other elements used in forging, construction, farming, healing, and more. The lifeblood of Clann Gael’s economy, reflected in its colors.
The Dù Krahg– (DOO krahg) The Dark Chasm. A desolate place in the heart of the Black Mountains, where sheer cliffs rise thousands of feet, shrouded in perpetual mist. No vegetation grows there, no birds fly overhead. The very rocks seem to pulse with power, and the ground itself radiates heat. A forbidden zone rumored to harbor sleeping dragons.
