[Kingdoms help] Northern Wastes The Northern Wastes are isolated and sparsely populated, but the Black Hand has created a government to keep the population in order, with the assistance of the Council of Necromancers, whose touch can be felt in every icy corner of the nation. The dark arts flourish in this nation much more freely than they can elsewhere, and the majority of citizens either embrace or have been enslaved by the power of this pure evil. Certain outsiders -- especially elves and griffons, may be given a particularly harsh welcome by the sword. See also: Kol's Moot
