Duhr

While not one of the Five Great Nations, Duhr is home to the once mighty race the Children of the Earth. They house one of the three artifact used a thousand years ago to slay Malpercio: The Sword of the Heavens. Until about 200 years ago, they also housed the Earth Sphere, before it was stolen by Duke Calbren's ancestors. The Children of the EArth know a great many things about Malpercio and their magic is the most potent against him.

Until Krumly's offering of the Sword of the Heavens to Malpercio, Duhr was protected from the Gods by a magical field atop Zosma tower.

The origin of its name is referring to the star Zosma, a part of the Leo constellation, of which the arabic name is Duhr.

History[]

Duhr can be seen as a sacred land, as it is the home of the 3 artifacts that sealed away Malpercio, as well as the 4 Godcraft that slayed "him" and the dark brethren. After the war of the gods, Duhr remained on the ground whereas the other continents were lifted away, above the tainted clouds.
