Forgil

Forgil (also known as Dinith or thr Kingdom of Dinith) is a human nation, kingdom and faction controlling about a third of the southern continent of Dinith and some remote areas of the mountainous continent of Kha'Zad, up to the remains of the old Kirpid Chasm inhabited by dwarves of clan Strongbow. House Lightshield has its roots in this kingdom, although it is now affiliated with Laudrin.

History
Forgil was founded aroud 1,349 years before the First Earth War by disillusioned members of the Anthromor Empire, who migrated southeast. The journey finally saw them settle in the continent of Dinith, where later, Avantia and Phoenixgarde could come to call home. It became a prosperous regional power, with a strong monarchy chaired by House Hermenion, the religious clerics of the Holy Order of Dinith Clerics, as well as the Brotherhood of Steel who boasted some of the most well-trained knights in all of Middle-Earth. The kingdom, highly militarily advanced, developed a bitter rivalry with its neighbour Avantia, with many villagers engaging in petty squabbles and shouting matches over whose kingdom was better than whose.

Around -26, King Delane Hermenion decided to put up a wall between the two kingdoms on the Shrubside Valley border, to officially mark out his kingdom's territory, and also to avoid the spillover of any hostilities into the nation. This was tacitly agreed to by King Wenthelen, who had little interest in pursuing the small commerce between the two nations anyway. This wall would later prove to be a critical sticking point in the struggles of both nations. Instead, Gilians traded with Ironforge, whose expertly-crafted weaponry would come in handy in case Phoenixgarde also wanted to trade hostilities. Aside from external problems, the bickering and infighting that plagued the Emperors of Anthromor was expertly banished from House Hermenion, and the nation was mostly peaceful from its foundation onwards.

First Earth War
The First Earth War took a devastating toll on Forgil. At first, rumours of strange green creatures entering the continent and raiding human settlements were not believed, but eventually, the perceived rabble of eldritch beings had agglutinated into a powerful horde of well-prepared fighters, who wiped out human resistance to their advances. Lord Kaiden Spalding, knight-commander of Forgil, took up the mantle in battle against the Clearing, clashing against the orcish invaders. Despite their best efforts, the humans found themselves outnumbered and overrun, with the capital city of Forgrain falling to the Prarvian Expedition after hours of heavy siege. Spalding's hand was forced, and he rallied the survivors northwards, informing King Delane that war was basically lost.
