[b]Nation Name[/b] : Shadowreach

[b]Races of the Nation: [/b] 
Centigors
Dragon Ogres
Giants
Anoredhel

[b]Nation History: [/b] 
The nation of Shadowreach is not yet even a full century old, before it stood an Elven nation called Ilumistead, the elves that populated it had enslaved the Centigors, Dragon Ogres and Giants fearing that leaving them unchained beyond justice would allow their true natures to flourish beyond where it could be simply cauterised at the source. It was a grave error that brought down the peaceful civilisation, for three hundred years their ways seemed to work, but their slaves grew surlier instead of more passive under the 'nurturing' influence of their mages. Dragon Ogre and Centigors found with magic talent were quietly put to death where the others couldn't see. What they had not planned on was their pets being more intelligent than they had expected.

Shielded by them were Kaleth and Zzevallen who were seeking out forbidden magics with wild abandon, but skilled discretion. These two pushed and prodded their fellow slaves into the direction of revolution, sometimes through raw magic, other times with talk and coercion, it was the Giant Regar who drove their planned insurrection into full blown war. Regar had been brought down from the mountain mines where he had killed, and eaten, his own father, his handlers forced to get an elven mage to subdue it long enough to bring to trial. A trial that the elves made the biggest mistake of all. They forced all other slaves in the city to be present for Regars execution, for unnatural and innumerable crimes against the nation, and his own family. 

Kaleth undid the subduing magics as Zzevallen began to wildly lash about with death magic. The revolution was on. It took only seven years for the Elves to fall into the same subservient position their new masters had once held them. But they were forced into submission with fear, horror and the blackest magics knowing that they were not just slaves of labour. But food.

[b]Important Characters: [/b] 
Regar the Indomitable, Lord of Giants, Ravager of Smaller Women, Destroyer of a thousand Elves, Eater of Grolik, father of Regar.
Regar is tall even for his kind, and there is nothing kind about his appearance, clad in armour and eyes full of rage Regar is every inch the hateful spiteful Lord of Shadowreach. Though many suggest, not too loudly, that Regar is not the brains of the nation. That he exists as a powerful, and very very violent figurehead. 

Kaleth and Zzevallen; Lich Lords of damnation.
Kaleth and Zzevallen are the Lich Archmage Dragon Ogres who are the intellectual gods of Shadowreach. Their magic is that which most of the citizenry recognise as the true force. And its a fact reinforced by the occasional presence of the Zombie Giants. It is they, most believe, who are the architects of the Shadowreach civilisation and where it is today, and none ever dare deny that it is their magic that freed them from Anoredhel slavery and encroachment.
