	*'''Tempest Edge''': The Tempest Edge sits on the most west point of Northern coast overlooking the Storm ocean. Here sits the Silent King. So named as the wind speaks for him and brings news of when to go into open waters or when to wait. In exhange he gave up his human tongue....Or so the elvish survivors tell. His ships come during both the worst weather boats can survive and in an eery quiet seemingly brought on by the men themselves, his warriors plundering villages and cities wordlessly before returning back to open sea with the same unsettling silence as they arrived.<br /> This human city has very poor and frozen earth, which leads most men to seek nourishment from dangerous waters of the ocean. Only the best survive this test of nature, molding them into perfect sailors whom their king wields with brutal efficacy. Hidden by storm, fog or rain from the eyes of Sot Watch Tower, he remains unpunished for his deeds. But the journey is always dangerous and deadly so beside the skilled men of Tempest, only madmen and martyrs join his raids. For their bravery, the Silent King builds great tombs for all human remains returned from their raids.		*'''Tempest Edge''': The Tempest Edge sits on the most west point of Northern coast overlooking the Storm ocean.

	*'''Frostfrontier''': a human city on the coast of the Val sea. It has an underground section as well as an above ground one. It is one of the most important human ports, and you can find most kinds of humans within it. It began as an underground settlement nestled in a massive cave system and it has stood for at least 500 years. It houses the largest market of the Haumic lands, and has been ruled from the beginning by a family of centaurs.		*'''Frostfrontier''': a human city on the coast of the Val sea.

	*'''Toren''': Deep in the frozen northern coast of Talahaca lies the Toren volcano. In its shadow lives a particularly stubborn tribe of humans who are generally territorial and extremely protective of their warm and fertile lands - many have tried to conquer them and as of yet none have succeeded. This tribe has taken its name after the volcano: the Defenders of Toren. Another frequent cause of battles is that the Defenders are followers of "The Mother Toren". They hold many negative stories about other humans close to heart, usually calling them Oathbreakers, typically revolving around the Defenders being wronged somehow in the War of Human Exodus. The true reason is forgotten, as the Defenders are illiterate, their history passed down through the generations as spoken word. Tales of the Oathbreaking are too ~~fractious~~ to truly decipher whatever wrongdoing occurred to make them despise their fellow man.<br /> Many other tribes, in turn, see the Defenders as heretics and betrayers of their fellows undeserving of their rich lands and worthy only of conquest. No wonder they are frequently attacked - the Defenders have a saying that "a summer without a siege is a great one indeed!". <br />The Defenders have adapted to their role particularly well - their villages are defensible forts linked ~~with~~ secret tunnels. Their lava-forges, although lacking steel or silver, produce large amounts of iron spears, shields, and arrows. The Defenders could become quite wealthy by selling these high quality weapons, yet they understandably fear that these weapons would be turned against them in the coming ~~year~~. ~~Combimined~~ with their general disdain of the the other tribes, they rarely if ever engage in trade.<br /> The Defenders are ruled by three forgemaster-commanders who decide what is produced, what is built, and who lead the defense of the tribe.		*'''Toren''': Deep in the frozen northern coast of Talahaca lies the Toren volcano.

	*'''Grimbridge''': The Grimbridge tribe sits by both sides of the old stone bridge, built long before they arrived. The bridge lays across river Stern (the large northern river which flows to Val sea). Known for their great strength and wealth among all the other local tribes.<br /> mostly due to every trader who wants to cross the river having to pay a toll and every raiding party crossing said bridge has to share a small part of their spoils, with any number of steelclad grimbride warriors stationed to enforce their claim as well as their tithes.		*'''Grimbridge''': The Grimbridge tribe sits by both sides of the old stone bridge, built long before they arrived.

	It all changed when Dwarves met most powerful Elven princes and princesses at the meeting place later named UR. It was long, long discussion, full of backstabbing and betrayal, but in the end an ~~'''~~Alliance was formed~~'''~~, the fate of ~~the~~ Humanity sealed and ~~future~~ territories divided between the Alliance. The exact details why the Elves and Dwarves united ~~and attacked~~ have been forgotten. The fear that the warlike Humans would eventually reach and surpass the magical ability of the other Races, whether true or not, is often cited as one reason, as is that Elves, Dwarves and Humans were in competition for good lands after the Goblin Cataclysm had destroyed their old lands.

	One of the worst battles of the war was the ''Carnage on Cain'' (known to Elves as "Battle at river Cain" "Cain's miracle" and "That battle when several important human idiots betrayed their kin for one whore", depends who you ask) where several human princes betrayed their kin for Elves (but in the end, they got what they deserved - genocide).
