Duiden

Duiden makes up the southern part of the region of Wargoria, bordered to the north by the Oak river, to the east by Duiden forest, to the south by the Umo Mountains and to the west by the Sea of Dusk.

History
In the Dark Age Duiden was originally settled by the gnomes, and possibly the dwarves before them. The gnomes where expelled by the expansion of Orchiag and then became human lands after the humans destroyed the orc empire.

Age of Steel
During the Age of Steel Duiden was a human land known as the Dukedom of Duiden. It tried to remain independent of the Order of the Falcon in Gwendellor to the north and to keep out of the conflict between the Damasa Empire and the Kingdom of Menlor.

Age of Knowledge
In the Age of Knowledge the Dukedom of Duiden entered an alliance with the Kingdom of Usabia and created the Commonwealth. The gnomes of Usabia brought much needed wealth and knowledge to Duiden, which under its hard-working people was quickly transformed into a modern nation.

Age of Information
As with all other lands, Duiden was incorporated into the Union in the early Age of Information. Technology transformed the land as much of the forests where cut to create new agricultural lands.

Geography
Duiden consists of a central lowland, gradually rising towards the Wargorian Peaks in the north and the Umo Mountains in the south. There are many great forests, known as Duiden forest to the east, Eastwood west of Lake Duilath, Greypine forest and Southwood to the south and Northwood and Westwood to the north. In the Age of Information much of Duiden forest and Greypine forest has been cut down and replaced by plains along with nearly all of Westwood. The largest river is the Umil river which flows through Greypine forest.
