Dhurna

Dhurna Is perhaps the most diverse nation in the Isles, possessing in particular many gnomes across its hilly landscape. Despite its diverse races, however, it has a solid and unifying culture under the worship of Oghma, god of knowledge. Bards permeate the land, perhaps the reason of the unified culture. Through them the spread of news and information is faster than anywhere else.

Not half a year ago the first ever Halfling King was crowned there, to immediate giggles across the Isles. A new crown had to be molded for his smaller head. King Pinto I has since stifled all mirth by immediately beginning massive production of brand new siege weapons, a type of catapult that fires its ammunition through combustion rather than rope tension. These so called cannons are causing even Anvil to sweat, even though their mettle is as yet untested on the field.


Sterotypes of the Dhurnese man are;

Naive
Clever
lazy

But are mostly unfounded.

Dhurna has never had a very large military, and has historically been a peaceful nation. What it has is a large militia mindset, everyone in Dhurna is said to be trained with a crossbow and short sword. This is a bit of an overexaggeration, but not by much. This is required because of the threat of Ogre raids almost daily.
