Morgath

the northern most country on Acleron. At the start of the series, it is overrun by monster hordes and ruled by the bloodmage Roan Wolfoak. The people of the land do their best to avoid the death and destruction wrought by the evil beings.

Historically, the country was known for its cold, rocky, and mountainous terrain where few crops grew. Only root vegetables and those hardy enough to survive the brutal cold are sustainable. It was often known to have vast herds of yak and buffalo, raised for their meat, milk, and fiber. Some of the warmest, non-magical garments and bedding came from the country. While the land was mountainous, there was little ore to be gathered and little of significance had occurred within its borders. It was the northernmost country in all Terra and therefore saw snow, ice, and cold for nearly nine of the twelve months every year.

At one time, the country was divided and ruled by regional dukes or baron. Each noble was responsible for large expanses of the land. They taxed the peasants but offered fair and reasonable protection against bandits and monsters since time immemorium.

*Spoiler Alert*

After Roan’s downfall and the utter destruction of the massive monster horde, the country lay in chaos and turmoil for nearly a generation while its people struggled to recover and rebuild. There is little more of the books that take place in the country after the third book.
