Grimbrand Territory

Overview
The Grimbrand Territory is located on the southeastern edge of the empire, between southern Spauria and Yookay. The rocky and barren lands that the Grimbrand dwarves call home is a remnant of the Grimbrand War, and over the last 163 years, color and vegetation still have not returned to the charred remains of what was once beautiful countryside. Since then, the dwarves have taken to the underground, creating networks of mines and tunnels beneath their turf, with entire settlements and fortresses being constructed in the bowels of the earth. The borders of the Territory are guarded by dense stone walls, reinforced tenfold by dwarven hands. They are strictly guarded, but this hasn't stopped the Spaurian Rangers from keeping an eye on their former invaders, and with Spauria's higher understanding of magic, no wall can keep the military from scrying on potential threats.

Today, the remnants of the Grimbrand dwarves still dig and expand underground, and their grip on Dur and the islands to the south hasn't weakened, but their hope of conquering Glaun Encaru has all but died, in the war that ended the First Age.
