The Dead North

The old Dwarven lands often called the dead north is all that remains after the great dwarven plague.

The plague is still rampant and the infected remain within, held back only by militia and volunteers. The lands remain much like they did before plague, but the excess of gunfire and the burning of corpse spires has turned the sky black and most wildlife has fled or been devoured.

Carrion birds make homes in trees and on rooftops, and on the ground the footsteps, groans, and snarls of the infected echo.

the most common faces are the armor clad Vipers Of Gwen who are the Damphjem contracted soldiers sent in to keep the borders in check.

While it seems that the infected intelligence has all but deteriorated to nothing more than animal instincts it can be noted that they still experience fear and aren't intolerant of pain, they are just savage

The Vipers have taken to erecting scarecrow like sculptures to ward off the lesser infected in areas they deem hospitable.

If you see one be sure to look alive upon investigation.
