Thanemhein

Long ago, the lands of the Thanes were overrun by orcs and other goblin-kin, ravaging a land without a king. It was so until Hedreol, first king of the Thanes, banded all the Thane chiefsmen together as one nation, and fought back the orcs. They drove them back to the south-west, to a desolate land named the Barren Fells. The orcs have remained there since, though some warchiefs have made success in breaking through the Thanemhein and Adenlance borders to raid the countryside.
