==History==
=== Old Smegs History===
Smegslord Lochlainne Smegesind the Mad would be attributed with unifying the entire Smegsland under the emblem of the golden dragon. In following years the Smegesinds expanded the lands of the Smegs, Expanding North to New-Raanskald, East to Hirane and even briefly into Aurican planes. 
===Modern Smegs History===
The centuries long rule that the Smegesinds had established came to an abrupt end with the arrival of the Thomas Drake and the Drakaens. The Smegslord at the time was Gormund Smegesind IV, the last to carry the traditional Smegesind name. A peaceful man, he strived for peace and mutual trade with the Drakaens. One day during a meeting with the leader of a group of Aurican merchants a Drakaen army appeared and detained him and much of his company. Gormund was executed by the Auricans only a few days later, meaning that the title of Smegslord passed to his young son Harolt. 
Unfit to rule the the lands at his young age, the responsibility was passed to Garmund's brother Carmanne Smegesind, today referred to in the Drakesland as ‘Zie Dhampir bon Smegslande' (The Vampire of the Smegsland). He was well known for his brutal raids on the Drakaen towns of Aurica and Varasopolis whilst they were still being developed. He was especially feared for his sheer barbarity in how he would deal with the civilians of the towns, executing them and staking their corpses outside of the Drakaen towns. Rumours were spread across the Drakesland that Carmanne himself would alone descend from the Mountains and sneak into Aurica to kidnap and slaughter the Drakaen settlers. After years of endless skirmishes he was eventually captured by the Drakaen army and executed.
Again, Harolt was left with the responsibility of the Smegslord. He recognised that the Drakaens simply had superior technology and resources, as well as a seemingly endlessly growing population of migrants. Harolt knew that it was a fruitless endeavor to continue the conflict and surrendered to the Drakaens. 
The Drakaens removed his power as Smegslord but for his cooperation allowed him to remain in power as the Junior Ephor of Smegsville and Abul. During his reign he cooperated with Drakaes in the Drakaenisation of the Smegsland. The Smegan language was all but erased and replaced with Drakaeschlange, even the Smegesind name was changed to 'Smegsint' to suit the Drakaen language better.
