Øytlavt

The home of dwarves, Øytlavt is a mountainous place, filled with dramatic canyons and mountains looming over labyrinthine rivers, streams, and tributaries. A misty country, the dwarves living there practice a clan-like tradition in forming Holds and tend herds of livestock. While it is not uncommon to see Øytlavt dwarves in the world, they tend to be a solitary sort, consumed with their search for books and paper knowledge. Little is known about their inner societies, and they want to keep it that way.

The Wetlands, the the east of the mountains, are technically a Øytlavt territory, but none like to think of it as such. A massive swamp (two-thirds the size of Eden) fills the area with murky waters, soft ground, and dangerous wildlife. It is reviled by nearly everyone, and is said to be populated with cannibals and witches.
