DescriptionEdit

Peloria is home to roughly 8.5 million humans.
13,000 Mostali live in the Imther Mountains, the Brass Mountains and Jord,
About 900,000 Uz live here, mostly in the Troll Hills and the Blue Moon Plateau with a significant population in the Yolp Mountains.
An unknown number of Aldryami live in the Er'Oring Wilds.

The humans of Peloria are divided into many different cultures.
The basic division is between the native Pelorians (henceforth called the Lodrili) of the north and the Orlanthi of the South.
There are roughly 2 million Orlanthi and 5 million Lodrili.
Other cultures include the 900,000 strong Carmanians, the 250,000 people of Eol, the 40,000 sable riders of the Hungry Plateau and the 130,000 CharUn.
Currently the dominant culture is Lunar, the followers of the Lunar Way. They number 850,000 and are dispersed among other societies.

The dominant government is the Lunar Empire
Countries allied to the Empire include Eol, the Blue Moon Plateau and the CharUn

At the Dawn, Northern Peloria was dominated by horse nomads; both Gamatae and Ustrandi
Southern Peloria was governed by the World Council of Friends
War broke out between the Horse Nomads and the World Council after Council missionaries were slain.
The World Council moved from Kerofinela to Dorastor to fight the war.
The war ended with the defeat of the Horse Nomads at the Battle of Argentium Thrile
The demise of the Horse Nomad hegemony allowed the Dara Happans to revive the Dara Happan Empire
War broke out anew between the World Council and the Dara Happan Empire
The World Council decided to create a God to help them rule; this decision split the council but brought peace with Dara Happa..
The new god was Nysalor who guided the resulting Empire of Light
The Empire of Light was conquered by an alliance of Orlanthi, Malkioni and Uz while [[Arkat] slew Nysalor.

Dara Happa quickly threw out its Orlanthi occupiers but became emeshed in striggles with the Spolite Empire and Pent
The Orlanthi revived as the Kingdom of Orlanthland
Orlanthland soon became subverted by Draconism to become the EWF
Dara Happa was unable to resist being conquered by the EWF
Aid came in from Loskalmi exiles, the Carmanians
With Carmanian help, the EWF was expelled from Dara Happa and driven back into Kerofinela
Both the Carmanians and the Dara Happans then joined as the True Golden Horde to destroy the Dragons once and for all.
The Horde was destroyed in the Dragonkill

Although severely weakened, Carmania and Dara Happa turned on each other.
Carmania won the war and conquered Dara Happa.
To destroy the Carmanians, the Seven Mothers brought the Red Goddess to life.
The Goddess created Lunar Empire and an Emperor to rule it before she rose as the Red Moon.
The Lunar Empire crushed the Carmanians and absorbed the Dara Happans.
The Lunars was overthrown by the Seleran Empire
Only through the most desperate struggles and was Sheng defeated.
The resurgent Empire quickly regained the territories lost during the Seleran Wars and acquired new ones.
Now it has marched into Kerofinela and seeks the death of Orlanth.
