Country History
Many years ago, a band of adventurers settled down in the ruins of a great dwarven city beneath the great mountain. Their fame and riches drew many others seeking the same. A city grew, and the citizens became their own militia and government.
Several Lords rose to power and took control of smaller sections of the island. Following the events of the Lords of Bitter Peak event, the forces under Lucien's rule solidified the loose society into a proper fighting force. The black flag of Bitter Peak became infamous on the island in the north.
After encountering the other people of the country, the military started offering their battle expertise for money, and called themselves the Mercenaries of Bitter Peak. This sword-for-hire work has brought even more wealth into the tundra land that this group call home.
They expanded. They captured the lands to the east of the mountains, opened up old trade routes to the south, and claimed the island to the west.
The ranger, Uulmshar, suggested expanding beyond the immediate area. His spies reported that the Knights of Solaris - the nobles ruling the Isles of Langerhausen - were weak and given to bouts of hedonism and apathy, and did not return any diplomatic attempts. Uulmshar gladly lead the rally to gather their men for war, which led to the events of the Day of Two Sieges.
Betrayal at the battle for the Langerhausen Capital started an investigation, which led back to the Bitter Peak council. They were dealt with, and replaced, by Lucien's leading generals.
The current location of Lord Lucien is unknown, and a council of his military advisers rules in his stead.
