The Goldlands

The Goldlands is one of The Twenty Realms, and is also the richest and ruling realm. It is the most eastern of the realms and is ruled over by House Rand.

History
The Goldlands were traditionally ruled by House Goldshire, a wealthy house preceding House Rand's invasion. Following House Rand's conquering, House Goldshire was butchered and destroyed completely. The Goldlands had been both before and after the wealthiest of all The Twenty Realms.

Geography
The Goldlands gain their wealth from their rich and bountiful gold mines, hence the realm's name. Its capital is Strongport. The Goldlands is very arid usually with simply the mines themselves, cities and the occasional oasis breaking up the almost barren desert.

Culture
The Goldlands have rich culture that is made up of many different ethnicities and coming from many different backgrounds.

The Festival Of The Conqueror is a two-week long festival in the summer honoring the anniversary of House Rand's conquering of The Twenty Realms.
