| - | The Kingdom of Dakar was founded by the [[orgs:dakarian_people]] when the migrated south from the [[atlas:Endless Snows]]. Aided by the [[creatures:dwarf|dwarves]] of [[atlas:Stoneheart Hold]] they conquered the [[atlas:Ajaccico]] as well as several smaller tribes in the area. The chief of chiefs of the Dakarian people, Lukas, was crowed king of the people of Dakar. During his investiture ceremony he was blessed by the priests with forethought and great wisdom, so he took the name [[people:Reiner I]] to signify that he was no longer simply Lukas. | + | The Kingdom of Dakar was founded by the [[orgs:dakarians]] when the migrated south from the [[atlas:Endless Snows]].

| Currently the Kingdom of Dakar holds lands stretching from the [[atlas:Isaurus Ocean]] to the [[atlas:Druyen Highlands]]. While not the largest nation in terms of either population or square miles its strong population and fertile lands have made the kingdom very wealthy. Since settling south of the [[atlas:Stoneheart Mountains]] the Dakarian people have not known loss in battle nor suffered under civil wars like other nations within the [[atlas:Western Realms]]. | Currently the Kingdom of Dakar holds lands stretching from the [[atlas:Isaurus Ocean]] to the [[atlas:Druyen Highlands]].

| Celin lead the expedition south to the very northern gate of Stoneheart. There he waited at the base of the gate for two winters before the dwarves finally agreed to meet with him. He alone entered and the dwarves only know what happened, as Celin never discussed it. What is known is that the dwarves, for the first time, opened their gates to outsiders and allowed the migration of the Daconians to continue south. | Celin lead the expedition south to the very northern gate of Stoneheart.

| - | Upon the banks of the mighty Zun River, on a hill overlooking the fertile land, Celin founded the new nation of Dakar, so named to honor his father. It took years before the [[orgs:dakarian_people]] were strong enough to begin expanding beyond their city, and years beyond that before the peace with the dwarves and elves gave them the land stretching from the Druyen Highlands to the Isaurus Sea. | + | Upon the banks of the mighty Zun River, on a hill overlooking the fertile land, Celin founded the new nation of Dakar, so named to honor his father.

| West of the Three River Valley the land dramatically changes. In place of the gentle rolling hills and rich soil, the west is mostly hard clay and heavily forested. The northwest is particularly bad for farming; however, it is marked by some of the more prosperous mines so it continues to grow. This makes the land good for smaller heavily fortified towns; however, any city would have to import a great deal of its grain products to survive in this dangerous land. | West of the Three River Valley the land dramatically changes.

| Mirroring their people, the nobles of the east are far more interested in political and social gains than their western counterparts. They have more to fear from their neighbors gaining an upper hand on them at court than raiders sacking the towns under their protection. In place of a well-armed militia most nobles rely on a constable and a few men-at-arms to police the area from crime. The idea of a peasant gaining land through military service is unthinkable to any civilized eastern noble. | Mirroring their people, the nobles of the east are far more interested in political and social gains than their western counterparts.
