Found north of Impiltur and east of the Moonsea.  This region was once a mighty realm, but is beginning the process of rebuilding after decades of war with neighbors, orcs, and gnolls plentiful in the surrounding mountains.  The country is tolerant of all races and most religions and is friendly to visitors, especially those proficient in slaying "monsters".  Politics and adventure abound for those seeking it.

Damara maintains friendly relations with its neighbors.  It enjoys a thriving gem trade on its abundance of chalcedony (aka "bloodstone" for its red flecks).  The Damaran leaders, however, keep a vigilant eye on the neighboring land of Vaasa and are ever prepared for any threat that may arise from there.
