Utlend

The Utlending High Kingdom is a kingdom in the frigid northeast of the continent. Originally this region was the fertile eastern reach of the Old Empire and seat of the capital city of Altanius, now submerged beneath the waves. The fall of the Empire as it grew gradually colder drew the fierce Utlendings from across the mountains to invade. A group of fierce raiders, mostly loyal to the old ways, they have raided the new faith's followers and the successors of the former Empire with a passion, at one point advancing their armies until right at the foot of the Holy Mountain when divine intervention threw up walls to stop them overnight. The most Western Utlendings have been converted to the Church, and trade with the League of Lake Lamorael to the west. However, the rest of the Utlendings stubbornly refuse to yield, even in the face of multiple crusades seeking to convert them.
