Uneers

Uneers is a Rhaekland in Soothereos. It is a lush forest region with sparse urban cities, and the birthplace of The Smithing Company, which sprouted a culture of craftsmanship and smithing among its people. However, years of conflict fostered a criminal underworld that looms in the shadows of the Uneerian cities.

Notable characters from Uneers includes Alleton and Orit Min.

## History

*"Only a matter of years prior to the Plight of Sixteen did Uneers become independent from Atholnar. There were huge cultural differences between the Rhaekland of Unners and that of Atholnar, which led to a bloody war that eventually ended in independence for Uneers as well as Belhelm. They are well known for The Smithing Company, a select group of blacksmiths that know the recipe to a special type of steel known as Solarium. It is said that a sword from this steel is the sharpest in the realm, capable of cutting through anything it strikes, as well as having natural weaving-resistant properties. Uneers is a nation plagued by earthquakes which make mining a very risky work. Not that long ago, the capital city was hit by a massive quake, collapsing some of the old mines that run right under the city. An entire district disappeared into the ground that day."*
