Garland is a territory that is as old as the Hestrillite Empire, dating back to a time just after the 1st Age of Man.

Dockrawlin is a very old kingdom, having been established near the end of the 2nd Age of Man. Having been involved in several bloody wars with the Vohrn orcs, the people of Dockrawlin evolved into a warrior people, with deep roots in personal and mass combat. Children are taught the way of the sword and spear as soon as they are able to walk. The population follows ages-old strict codes and a caste system that clearly defines roles based upon birth and position.

Outsiders are tolerated, with a few having earned the full trust of the Dockrawlinian people. Trade is tightly regulated and taxed. Those who violate any rules and laws in the kingdom are punished severely.

Dragons are looked upon with awe and respect here, something the beasts are aware of. Anyone harming a dragon, unless in self-defense, will be punished harshly up to and including execution.

The six castes (in order of importance and wealth are: Nobility, Warrior, Religious, Wizard, Merchant, and Laborer. Each caste will always defer to those belonging to the caste above it. Non-humans are aware of this and observe these rituals when traveling within predominately human areas of the country. With few exceptions, women are looked upon as secondary to men.
