Galuven

Description
The wild nation of Galuven is known for one thing, barbarian tribes. it are a vast territory comprised of barbarian tribes and became known as a pseudo country only because their military could fight on equal terms with Tavalone and Driamos. Galuven has it's own unique governing system, a Earl system. A Earl a chieftain leader of a tribe and their monarchy is chosen every three years through tournaments. They believe only the strong can lead. This system and way of life appeals to the exiled Dwarves from Ozurenth and Orcs from the Muya. The culture of Galuven is very dwarvish and orcish in nature. As hard as it is to believe, the tribes of Gsluven practice similar Odianica civility rituals, like monogamous marriage, trade, fair trial and political meetings. Despite all of that, they become the Land of Barbarians for a good reason

Geography
Galuven is mostly forest with several streams flowing through. Because of many streams, ship carpenters are valued highly in the tribes. The forests are thick and when winter comes, it is filled with snow. Much like Wiudun, the Galuvens claim that the cold makes them stronger.

History
Galuven is far to the east of Odianica and is it's own island. Artorius Mordred did not conquer the large land mass of Galuven during his campaign, so the Galuvens were left out of history. Exiled dwarves from Ozerunth and orcs from Muya sailed into Galuven to join the tribes hundreds of years ago. This is when the Galuvens learned of lands across the seas. As such, the Galuvens set out and found Odianica. Once a year, the Galuvens prepare a mighty pillage to celebrate a hero king by gathering as much Odianican riches as possible.

Norvashdar
Norvashdalr is the located directly in the center of Galuven so that each clan travels equally to come here. The large pseudo city is comprised of many wooden hut like houses and many human, dwarvish and orcish architecture and statues fill the city's streets. In the center is a large estate for the current Earl of Norvashdar. When a Earl is removed from power, a tournament is hosted to decide the new Earl. The citizens who inhabit the city are neutral from any clan and will often refer themselves and being a member of Galuven's clan, meaning whoever is the current Earl. The citizens value the strong races and get along with each other very well. The city blends dwarvish and orcish cultures along with primal human culture evenly. Scholars look at this city as a bridge for three races.
