Dalen

Similar to its neighbor to the northwest, Norofen, Dalen is a country split into two halves. On the northeastern side lies the town of Riverdale, named for the large Hucohr River that runs through it before flowing on towards the sea to the north. Being the only large city in Dalen, Riverdale is the capital and home to the country’s  government. Dalen as a country is relatively ungoverned, due to its size, relying mainly on the guidance of the commander of its military, a Half-elf named Arin Arasen. As a leader he is well liked, but not particularly skilled in the art of statecraft, being more of a military mind. The towns and villages around the Streserec Forest are mainly poorer farming communities, with some of the inhabitants of the hills to the northeast turning to sheep and goat herding. Most of the time the only worry that the Dalish have comes from the plains to the south. In the plains of Dalen nomadic tribes of Orcs, Bugbears, and Goblins roam freely. They are not particularly aggressive towards outsiders, so long as they are not trespassing, but from time to time the Dalen military is called upon to repel a raid from the nomads. These plains are also where much of the hunting for the unofficial orcish country of Galranok is done. Port North is the last available port for ships travelling around the northern end of the continent to the hidden docks of the Eladrin of the Dreamwood, as well as the foreboding harbors of Eldamaire.
