Fellhaven

Fellhaven is an empire of Komali that includes the central city of Fellhaven as well as the surrounding forests and marshes. Fellhaven is best known for its relationship with magic usage, being a long-time supporter of unregulated use of magic of all kinds.

History
Fellhaven was formed in opposition to the growing might and control of the Dominion. A group of revolutionaries, led by the barbarian Fritz Oathkeeper, established Shadowfell Keep to the west as a bastion against the Dominion, where races of all kinds could live free from oppression and magic users could practice their craft without fear of regulation. They establish a republic in opposition to the Dominion's monarchy.

Shadowfell Keep quickly gained the support of the public eye, and it was not long before the Dominion had little choice but to recognize it as an independent city-state. The Keep and the lands surrounding that pledged themselves to the revolutionaries' cause was renamed Fellhaven.

Fellhaven would later become the base of operations of the Sons of Shadowfell during their conflict with K'thormir period known as the Dark Wars. The city's forces were instrumental in the eventual defeat of the Darkness, but not before the material plane was permanently corrupted by its power.

Peace talks between the Dominion and Fellhaven take place to govern how best to rebuild after the wars, but tension form immediately as it becomes clear that the two nations had extremely different ideas of how to do so. The talks persisted for several years, but inevitably broke down, giving way to a cold war that would last centuries. To avoid all out-war, Fellhaven begrudgingly acknowledged that the use of dark magic may lead to further corruption of the material plane, and regulated it accordingly.

Tensions between the two nations eventually led to a military coup of Fellhaven's leadership. The Republic of Fellhaven was then replaced by an Empire, immediately deregulating the use of all forms of dark magic. The now widespread use of such magics was enough to elevate the cold war into a proper one between the Dominion and Fellhaven, which raged for centuries.

In an attempt to cut off the Dominion's supply lines, a magical fog was conjured overnight by Fellhaven sorcerers, cutting off the entirety of Adorea from the rest of Komali. Communications from within the empire ceased, and nobody is known to have traveled there since.
