Loril

Loril is a land in western Allesley. It is the home of the Allesa, the humans who fled the fall of Cordiana, as well as ancient cities of dwarves and elves. Once a proud empire, the land is now a confederation of kingdoms with their alliances, feudal states, and autonomous regions. Loril is also called the Free Kingdoms and Treodal, and the region outside the three kingdom cities is usually called the Reeves.
