Doegan Doegan ( pronounced " durgan " ) was a realm in the Utter East of southeast Faerûn . It was one of the Five Kingdoms of the Utter East . Geography . It lay south of the Free Cities of Parsanic and west of the country of Edenvale . The coastal area of Doegan was known as the Doegan Shores . The land around the Capital was open and clear , with pleasant green fields and palm trees , but harsh times saw it become dry and rocky , or as rippled brown earth like dried mud with patches of broken , rougher land . Marshes lay in the northwest . The climate was hot and muggy , and even a horse would grow weary here . History . Howl of Vengeance . During the time of the Bloodforge Wars ( 648 – 657 DR ) , invaders led by Rathgar the Raider overran Doegan and laid siege to the capital . To pacify his own poor clansmen , Rathgar plundered the realm of its bounty . Finally , he came for the crown itself , and confronted the king and princess in their own throne room . However , with his dying breath , the defiant king cursed him , declaring " For so long as you rule , a curse upon you . The dead will arise , to ensure your demise . " Escaping the invaders , the princess looked for a way to make her father ' s prophecy come true . She went to Old Stone Keep and there met Aelric , a mage of Doegan who was heir to a great magical legacy . Uninterested in wealth or fame , he vowed to aid her and , furthermore , fulfill her father ' s curse to take vengeance on those who ' d occupied his homeland . Meanwhile , months passed and Rathgar paid no heed to the curse , until a captured criminal , a graverobber called Grubkern , whispered of a gathering army of undead coming to rid Doegan of the invaders . As fear spread in the capital , Rathgar determined to investigate , threatening to kill Grubkern if he ' d spoken falsely . The Howl of Vengeance conflict was fought between the two factions using bloodforge s . During the Legendary Campaign . Formerly a powerful nation , Doegan fell into decline under the rule of Patric Fulgirth , an idle ruler who cared not for the needs of the people . The commander of the Legendary Campaign sought to depose Fulgirth , and thought this would be an easy task . Later , the cunning mage Gim Blacktongue used treachery to usurp the throne of Doegan . Although the kingdom prospered , it did so under an air of suspicion , and Doegan folk called for a new and trustworthy rule . The commander of the Legendary Campaign came to Doegan and attempted to remove Blacktongue from power . Eventually , Doegan fell into the safe hands of Hariah Highkin . The capital prospered , the borders held firm , and people were happy .
