The High Lands

Rit-Kilaan in the native toungue. Population: 400 thousand. A theocracy in northern Bandagora north of Dagdor. The rulers are priests of Heimdal. The (popular) capital is Ilandris (yet currently the largest city is Istivin, which is the seat of the Lord Defender and the bureaucratic capital) The High Lands practically ceased to exist during the Troll Wars, and it is unlikely to play any major role in international politics in the near future. The High Lands (at that time called the Far Lands) was founded in 376 by Ardsil shortly before his death. The secluded realm had little contact with the rest of Bandagora until 742, when unrest in the southern parts (at that time the High Lands controlled the western part of the Servan Plain)  played a part in the founding of Hardnit. The High Lands and Hardnit have always had strong diplomatic ties, but otherwise the High Lands has been somewhat isolated until the Troll Wars in 1105.
