Llinoril

Llinoril was an independent country north of the Heartlands that was invaded, conquered and subsequently abandoned by the Demon Kingdom Army circa 80 years before the onset of the Renaissance. During those decades it was a wilderness area left mostly uninhabited. But after the nameless war, a wide variety of survivors settled the new town of Latheas, located near the 'haunted' castle of Grauberhold.
=== Pre-invasion ===
Llinoril's capital was Annoresae, a small city located on a hill and surrounded by farmlands. The country's main line of defense against the Demon Kingdom were concentrated at Grauberhold. The country's main exports were potatoes, wool, furs and crafted goods. Many freelance adventurers trained at Grauberhold, or forayed into the encroaching wilderness.
=== Fall ===
The fall of Llinoril was surprisingly quick. Demon Kingdom forces led by Marisaelle vi Alloriel managed to pass through the defenses, attacking Annoresae and razing the capital to the ground as its inhabitants were spirited away to the Demon Kingdom's terrain with the intent to re-settle once sufficient numbers could be stationed there. Grauberhold held out a little longer, but fell once mamonme breached its magical defenses, teleporting in their troops. Some tongues point to treachery, but the truth is lost to time.
=== Resettlement in the Renaissance ===
Former Demon Kingdom supporters, former Luminaire, survivors from the nameless war and wild mamonme chose the hospitable lands near Grauberhold for their new settlement and named it Latheas. The populace hold to an unspoken rule that what happened in the past stays there, though many still struggle with their own (mis)deeds therein. The inn owned by Othuis and Kurea serves as the community's main gathering place, where the locals oft find themselves for a meal and some music. A recent addition to the town is the Snailstop, where wandering Ureonggaksi deliver and pick up packages and mail, oft with a few helpings of rice from the ever cooking kettle.
