Skilpadde



Island turned pirate city-state turned trading hub: the native lands of Halflings and some would say the newest breed of humans. The island of Skilpadde, roughly translated to Turtle, is aptly named considering that the island has the best natural defenses and largest standing army: made up entirely of voluntary militia men of every race and upbringing.

Once a nearly inhospitable haven for many a deadly creature including a nasty empire of kobolds, the island was cleared out when a distress call from the then endangered Halflings was received by the Dwarves centuries ago. The swift aid made the conflict clear up within mere months, leaving the kobolds nothing but wandering tribes and a completely new island lush with resources and adventure for all to enjoy.

Today the island is known for its many trading hubs and general acceptance of all walks of life, religious practice, and the appreciation of the working man

Its capital city, Havskall, is famous for many an attraction, including a carnival, mall, innumerable embassies and much more.

The honored dead of Skilpadde's civilized regions are typically reanimated by way of both magic and machine to serve as they did in life.
