Dolthur is a vast heavily forested nation located within the region of Navarene. The current ruler of the country is King Aeric II, the first king who is publicly trying to integrate fey into civilized society. The capital city of Dolthur is Lankhmar which has been made overgrown for fey hospitality. Dolthur is known for its great forests home to giant mushrooms and magical beasts. King Aeric’s vision is not shared by all of his subjects and as a result the country is very tense waiting for a spark to light ablaze.

## History

The Kingdom of Dolthur has always maintained a reasonable position of power among its neighboring nations however it typically inwardly focused not troubled by the politics of the outside world until they are threatening them directly. In the Era of Beasts the Kingdom of Dolthur was conquered by the Empire of Duvan’ku and prospered as the center of an great imperial trade route between the two battlefronts. The empire also painstakingly created a road through the mountains connecting Dolthur with Astaria giving them an easier route to Ikovu. Before the fall of the Empire a small portion of Dolthur rebelled establishing the Kingdom of Oestra. After the fall of the Old Empire the Kingdom of Dolthur maintained its military trading by profiting off of the Great Tanarian War supplying both Umenthal and Astaria with armaments. In the Era of Dreams King Ultrum the ruler of Dolthur discovered the plane of Carcosia with several small settlements and no rulership. Under King Ultrum Dolthur acted uncategorically assertive, expanding their kingdom into Carcosia working alongside the natives to create cities with garrisons capable of fending off the wildlife. King Ultrum was driven mad by Nahari during the events of The Shattering and The Kingdom of Dolthur and Carcosia were separated. The current King Aeric has been working to civilize the native fey of Dolthur making great efforts to make them comfortable in their society.

## Culture

    Following in the footsteps of King Ultrum, King Aeric saw the fey native in the vast northern forest and believed that as creatures living within the Kingdom of Dolthur they should be given the amenities of a Dolthurian citizen. King Aeric has been making great strides to make the cities and social expectations suitable for the native fey to properly integrate into society.

Dark magic and arcane alchemy is looked down in Dolthurian society as it has a habit of polluting and corrupting the natural world. Dolthur doesn't follow any pantheon as all of the gods are fighting over control of the world manipulating it from it's natural state. The four fonts of magic: The Blind Eternities, The Painted River, The Forge of Days and The Heart of the World all have shrines dedicated to them in sacred remote locations.

    The people of Dolthur are very grounded and content with very little. Dolthur has various places of comfort that the people of the kingdom go to enjoy themselves. Public places of relaxation such as parks, restaurants and cafes are highly trafficked. Casual social environments are popular as the people of Dolthur are very laid back and enjoy the peace that comes from a lack of direction.
