The country of Fidwog proper will be covered in future volumes. Here we will share only the history, contributions and exploits of the Fraedarl and their military intervention in Creevin.
Despite being blockaded and subjected to regular Crusader attacks over the past decade, Fidwog suffered comparatively light casualties. Most of her war dead came from expeditionary forces outside the kingdom and naval sallies against the besieging Crusader fleets. During the Crusade, and despite Tok’s best efforts, Fidwog’s population swelled by over six million as Royalists and anti-Crusaders from all across the eastern Continent fled to safety there.
Paf Braed!
It is said amongst the diminutive quar of Fidwog that the rallying cry of their brave fighters chills the very blood of the tyrant Alykinder. Few gave credence to the notion that the naturally smaller quar of this mountain kingdom could give pause to the mighty war machine of the Crusade, much less stop it in its tracks for almost a decade. The apologists of the Iron Regime may blame the rugged topography of Fidwog, but those quar who live among the hills and karst insist their resolution and firm beliefs are stronger than any other quar on the planet, and it is this undying faith in King and Country that holds them apart and allows them to resist Alykinder.
No matter what the underlying cause, it cannot be doubted that the fighting prowess of the Fidwogger is unmatched, especially in the tight confines of their mountain lairs and tunnels. The kinship that knits many of Fidwog’s military units together is something of legend, as are her bottomless coffers. Rich veins of ore crisscross the mountain ranges that dominate Fidwog. Many clans extend their homes by the very act of increasing the King’s wealth, for it is each quar’s duty to tithe to the kingdom. The First Families that were able to flee Tok, Shralm and even Achon have forged an alliance with King Edifys Fedderic III, strengthening the Royalist cause and further prolonging the war which Alykinder had so hoped would be over quickly.
