Dunland

Dunland is the home of the Wild Men. Although it has had active players for quite a while, it was first claimed just a few months ago by Wulfric (Telwa), who continues to rule Dunland today

History
(Note: Early history needs to be expanded upon)

Very little is known of the early history of Dunland. At some point, Telwa and two companions began work on the city of Galtrev. It soon became an impressive city. However, as it was nearing completion, those who were building it went inactive, thus leaving the faction empty.

Some time afterwards, Wulf (horis97) began work on a city near the South Dunland WP. He was joined by Cailrath (reddieeddie). However, they were not without competition. The Uruk-Hai, led by Gurlakdar, had grown strong at that time, and looked to expand their dominion. Following failed negotiations with Wulf, the Uruk-Hai looked to claim Dunland for themselves through a Dunlending puppet-leader, Sage (Sweethotcakes45). But the Uruks, for unknown reasons, soon dissappeared, leaving Wulf and company free of competition. However, hostility towards Rohan led the Dunlendings to conflict with the Rohirrim and Gondorians. This (along with horis being tempbanned) hindered progress, and eventually resulted in the the dissappearance of the remaining Dunlendings.

Dunland was not long to remain without members, however. Soon after, Telwa returned to complete Galtrev. With the assistance of Lekoff and Sjofn (claustrofobia), he claimed, thus becoming the first king of Dunland.

With Lekoff and Sjofn as commanders, Telwa quickly recruited many members to the new faction. However, their progress was not without rivals. The crazed King Taendell of the Red Mountains, having just defeated the Woodland Realm, now declared war on Dunland. The first siege took place at Galtrev, with both sides calling on numerous allies. Despite some initial losses, the dwarves and their allies succeeded in overwhelming the defenders, winning a close, hard-fought victory.

The rest of the war would have probably also been quite close, but it never happened. Taendell's activities soon brought him into conflict with his Longbeard king. This led to the War of Honor, in which Durin's folk subdued Taendell, and brought the Red Mountains under their control. The War for Dunland thus ended with the defeat of the Red Mts.
