[[Human]] settlements tended to cluster around the productive coastlines as the hills and rocks made for poor farm lands. There are several populated towns along the borders of Sagewald and [[Erilyn]], but few in the interior.

Line 21: Line 21:
In turn the relationship between the hill dwarves and the peoples of Erilyn has traditionally been a close one. When Erilyn stood strong against the crushing hand of [[Milara]], the dwarves of the hill clans supported their neighbors even when the other races in the area bowed to the dark elf and his new order on Rilara. It was unfortunate that the battle of the [[Plains of the Slain]] saw the [[death]] of more than two thirds of the clan warriors at the hands of Milara's minions.

It was in all likelihood the events surrounding Milara's rise to prominence on the continent that allowed for the structuring of the territory into the tenuous kingdom that exists today. Starting around the mid 800s and into the early 900s relations between dwarves and humans of the area were strained. The human settlements along the southern coastline resented the presence of the Erilyn fleet in <span class="ITALIC">their</span> waters, but other than some private militias and a handful of local privateers, they lacked the means to do anything about it.

Starting in the mid 800s, the countryside began to be plagued by creatures that the locals called demons. Rumors abounded that the dwarves in their mining had ventured too deep into the earth and had let loose creatures upon the settlements. The dwarves of course denied this and skirmishes at the hillside entrances to their subterranean cities were common.
