The Librum Arcanum, one of the great wizarding towers, is located in Temint's Daern age.
Remnant comprises the lands where the final stands of the Faunus against Humanity (primarily human and elves) were made. The hills and barrier mountains allowed the Faunus to commit hit-and-run raids against the supply lines, the forest provided a natural buffer zone, and the lands beyond were rich in nutrients allowing the Faunus to grow the crops they needed to sustain their population.
In the present day, the Faunus tend to keep to themselves, and they are generally unwelcoming of visitors. Curiously, though, the Adventurers' Guild has a very large administrative center in the capital city of Menagerie - and those belonging to the guild are at least tolerated. They trade extensively with the both the barbarian tribes in Squdal A Tuath, who prioritize life and living over silly prejudice, and the various cities of the Glass Desert, a (mostly) outlaw region anyway.
The icy wastes known as Squdal A Tuath are home to dozens of tribes of hardy folk. Some have fled their way north from war, famine, or the winds of political change. Some have deliberately eschewed the frivolity and uselessness of so-called “modern” life and have sought a pure existence. Many have been born here and know nothing of the warm climates of the regions southward past the Beantann Bacaidh – the “Barrier Mountains”.
There are few permanent settlements here. The most well-known is Hillshome - a rough frontier town home to many dwarves, gnomes, and similar folk. Hillshome see much trade with the southern kingdoms, who covet the exotic materials found here for their research and spell components.
