Northern Ergoth Locations

Formerly part of the mainland, the Empire of Ergoth was one of the great powers of Ansalon before the Cataclysm, but when the fiery mountain struck Istar the land was forever changed. The western side of the continent split into multiple islands, the former empire breaking away and splitting in two.

What remained of the empire found itself in dire straits, and separated by a new stretch of water, so the majority chose to flee to the northern island and rebuild their nation there, leaving the south to become a wilderness, and later to be claimed by other peoples and creatures. Establishing themselves as a smaller but still strong nation, the humans of Ergoth settled in the grasslands of the north-west area, divided by the Sentinel Mountains from the Kender nation of Hylo on the eastern side, and sharing a southern border with Sikk-et Hul, a desert of hills and scrubland populated by goblin tribes.

Rice-paddies and large fishing vessels are extremely common across the human inhabited parts of the island.

The humans of Northern Ergoth were ruled for a time by a series of petty despots, all vying for the throne of the old empire in Gwynned. Most notable amongst these were the Ackalites, follows of a barbarian lord named Ackal Ergot. They came closest to achieving total victory, until they were defeated by the rise of the Redic dynasty, their greatest warrior claiming the title of Emperor of Ergoth, and his family ever since seeking to reestablish the old empire.
