Nilgoav Island

Nilgoav Island is a large island southwest of Parlera, almost directly east from the Sea Elven city of Iluathshimae. The island has long since remained free from colonization because of the Eukathom Mountains, located on the island’s northeast, which have long acted as a barrier. The harsh terrain of the Opaleis Desert further made the island an unattractive destination for colonizers.
The island received its name from its longtime residents, the Goliath. In their language ‘Nilgoav’ means ‘Our Home’. For most of its history, the island has been fairly isolated from the rest of the world, having a harsh climate and few natural resources for others to extract. As far back as their collective memory reaches, the Goliath have wandered the island as nomads.
In 620, a group of Dwarves from Tanthalthud would land on the island, looking to colonize it. Though they would eventually abandon that goal, many Dwarves stayed behind on the island, and would become addicted to the dreamstone that was found in the Eukathom Mountains. Transformed by their experiences with the Plane of Dreams into the Dream Dwarves, they would re-settle the city of Kella-Thus as Khajadûn and enslave the Goliath population.
