To the north of Agganoth expands a rough, mountainous terrain with a massive fjord where the city of Etollen prospers. Because of this, Eldrassirans are often rugged people though the closer you get to Etollen, the more 'civilized' they become. Etollen's isolation due to the mountains has bred it an isolationist's mindset. It maintains a tight grip on the smaller towns and villages that managed to sprout up in the valleys, but you will not hear them complain. Because of the terrain, most of the towns and villages are left to their own devices so long as they answer the call should the king extend it.
Government:
Etollen is led by Elder King Edvard Thune who has recently lost his wife of forty years, Gjertrud. He has proven himself a kind, firm ruler and has invested much time in training his eldest son, High Prince Tor Thune. His only daughter, Lillian, now serves as the wife of Ikaros Drakon, King of Norcrest. Tor has three boys of his own with the oldest being the most useless and the youngest the most promising.
Political Scene:
Due to their isolated home, Etollen has avoided becoming involved in many conflicts over the years. However, Lillian's marraige to Ikaros has strained that policy as Ikaros has called on Etollen at times to aid in his own wars. They are at war with Agrenna only because Ikaros. They enjoy a lucrative trade agreement with Cythien and gets most of their goods from the merchant city of Valburn in Tumar.
Religious Scene:
While worship of all the deities is encouraged, the predominant faith in Etollen is in worship to Eses, God of Earth. They rely heavily upon the fertility of the valleys and offer yearly sacrifices to Eses in hopes of having good crops. They honor Eses with the Feast of Firsts where the first harvest and firstborn of the livestock is given as offerings to the temples of Eses.
Notable Features:
The Emerald Throne: At the north west corner of Etollen is a mountain bathed in green fauna that never ices or is covered in snow despite its altitude. Those faithful to Eses believe that it served as the throne from which the earth God watched over his domain.
Palendragos: A monastery midway up the Emerald Throne where the most faithful go for further study.
