The Kingdom of Loriene

Built up from the ashes of the old world, the small Kingdom of Loriene sits on the eastern side of the Shimmering Peaks. Crafted by skilled dwarves from the grey stone of the mountains 1350 years ago the city of Dragons Quarry stands as a reminder of the glory of the forgotten past. The bloodline of the ancient kings of men remains unbroken and King Arden the Third rules with the help of the royal senate. However all is not well in the castle, rumors of the Kings declining health and inability to sire a successor circle in taverns and back allies and the rare youth born with magical talent often wind up vanishing in middle of the night. The Guild of the Magi's red masked ranks seem to swell with every disappearance, but there have been several years of drought and the layman only concerns himself with putting food on the table.
