Located on the eastern shores of the Sea of Blades, Stenoa was founded by brigands, escaped slaves and rebels who once hid from their Dorakian masters deep within Zaralan Marsh. During the Mage War, the refugees from the Marsh helped the allied forces defeat the Mage King Lucasa and occupied the relatively wild grasslands west of the Marsh, founding their own state there. Throughout the first century of the Fourth Age of Man, Stenoa and Lun Dorak have been at war with one another.
The Zaran people of Stenoa are a hardy and proud people, steadfast in their opposition to the mages of Lun Dorak (and, in many areas, against any sort of wizard or sorceror). Druids traveling from the Calmerian Marches have recently gained some level of acceptance by the people of Stenoa and rumors suggest they may be forging an alliance between the Calmerian tribesmen and the Zaran refugees in Stenoa. It is generally presumed that Lun Dorak is actively opposing such an alliance.
