Gontal



Gontal is an isolated kingdom in southwestern Returned Abeir that has only been settled for one hundred years. Prior to the spellplague a huge metallic fortress erected by a dawn titan stood in northern Gontal which caused both dragons and humanoids to avoid the area. When the spellplague sent Returned Abeir to Toril the fortress exploded creating an area known as the Glaur Barrens.

Gontal is ruled by Queen Imreera Hethkantan who lives in the capital city. The Queen is a hands-off ruler who appears to be more interested in sending expeditions to the Glaur Barrens than in actively ruling the land. The Twelvefold noble families hold a large amount of power and some consider the families to be the true rulers of Gontal.

Locations

 * Darkturret: A ruined castle built by one of the twelvefold to hide wealth stolen from the other families. The other families attacked and sacked Darkturret leaving it as a haunted ruin.
 * Glaur Barrens: This wasteland was once the location of a mighty dawn titan citadel. Now the landscape is a mix of earthmotes, plaguelands and strange metallic ruins.  Many adventurers and treasure hunters search the barrens for precious metals.
 * Gontal City: This crowded city of 30,000 is the capital of Gontal.
 * Szant: This port city is known primarily for its fishing fleet.
 * Velandilmur: This large town is a haven for outcasts and outlaws.
