    Kingdom of Heljung

    Nearing the end of the Exploration Age, a new Kingdom was found nearing the far west coast. The Kingdom of Heljung was filled to the brim with Tieflings, Goblins, Kobolds, & Dragonborns. As such, most who ventured there believed it to be Hell. This is why the term 'Heljung' now is a common term for 'Hell' or 'Damnation'. The stereotype of these races being demonic and evil also likely originates here. Lead by Queen Eomoni De'Roune. (F!Tiefling Wizard)
