The Green Dragons and Gnolls came to Qur-tayn by boat and air nearly 9,000 years ago. During the Great War of Lairien, countless Gnoll armies marched south against the denizens of the forests and grasslands. Some of the eastern Gnoll cities, however, felt that the expansion was unnecessary, and broke away from the government. Before the War was even lost, some armies turned northeast and razed these eastern Gnoll cities to the ground. Those who escaped came to Qur-tayn with some of their Green Dragon allies. Showing that history repeats itself, however, the Glenneton Gnoll population has steadily increased and their expansionist ways have again threatened their security as they force their neighbors to bind together against them.

                Trade is only common in Glenneton between their neighboring Gordohemnians off the east coast and the neutral Almaroons far in the southern seas. Their highland forests are rich in resources, however, and they have little need for strong trade. Mining cities like Ak-Darstir, Ak-Malariz and the capital, Appe-Glenneton, have unending deposits of iron, platinum and mithril. The coastal Ak-Oloran (NE) supports whaling and fishing and Ji-Bitrea (SE) has excellent fishing.

Glenneton place prefixes:

  • Appe -- capital city

  • Ak -- large city (over 20,000 people)

  • Ku -- small city (between 10,000 to 20,000 people)

  • Ji -- stronghold designed to house massive armies on disputed borders
    Ji-Boren & Ji-Bitrea to the south against the Jinatrans (their most hated enemies)
    Ji-Irdiz to the west against the Karbotens of Anaptun Abra
    Ji-Marim to the northwest against the roaming undead of Peneloponaea
