Kingdom of Ulihm

The Kingdom of Ulihm is the northeastern region of the map. Bordered by an expanse of tundra to the north, and the Boroshian Lands to the south, The Kingdom of Ulihm is the home to most dwarves, rock gnomes, and goliaths. It also houses many humans, half-orcs, lesser drow, and some kobolds that have overcome their xenophobia. One of the unique physical features of the land is the Claw of the World, a large island cluster that roughly looks like a humanoid hand. Legend states that it was created when Moradin's hammer hit Amar, though priests of other religions may disagree.
