The Realm of Umberöc

The realm of Umberöc is made up of five islands that lie a hundred miles to the east of the Northern Realms, in the Sea of Wrath. The most northerly of these islands, The Roost, is the main nesting ground of Norlandía’s red dragon population. At any one time there are hundreds of dragons all within a close proximity of each other – this inevitably leads to conflict. It is these altercations that keeps the wheels of Umberöc’s economy turning, Scavenger teams scour the rocks for whatever they can turning dragon parts into weapons, armour and potions.

The City of Dragonov

Dragonov is the capital city in the realm of Umberöc, a group of islands to the east of the Northern Realms. Home to over eighty thousand people the city is excavated out of the islands’ soft chalk and limestone and boasts some of the finest artisans to be found anywhere in the world. Umberöc is different from the other realms; its royal household is more of a token gesture than a ruling monarchy; it is the people who set the tax levels, make the rules and punish those who brake them.

Composed almost entirely of tradesmen and craftsmen, Umberöc’s four cities are hives of activity; forges and foundries litter its porous islands and workshops and laboratories stand on every subterranean street corner, manufacturing goods that are shipped throughout the land.

The men who work there say that if the Northern Realms were a furnace, Umberöc was its red-hot embers, and with its countless ore-smelting and mineral-roasting facilities, it is easy to see why.
