Once part of Donnagh Saoristat, Haethgrind was invaded and conquered by Valtang raiders during the Dark Times. The Vikingr raiders that conquered the region quickly intermarried with the local population and have adapted to the hilly terrain, expanding the tin and copper mines and opening several new bronzeworks. Rumors persist that Haethish miners have even found significant iron deposits and may have begun production of steel, despite the traditional preference for bronze weaponry and tools by the Valtang. Due to its mineral wealth, Haethgrind has become the major source of weapons and tools among the Valtang kingdoms and no small amount of wealth is pouring into the country.
