Dologoth (R.S.D.)

The Reformed States of Dologoth (R.S.D.) is a constitutional republic comprised of disparate states: centrally, Jogunheim, Gektuk, and Rag'dul. The R.S.D. signed its reformational constitution in 1220 SE, heralding the formation of the Grand Kainos National Union. "Dologoth" traditionally refers to the Dologothi Continental Region, and is largely populated by Giants, Goblins, and Orcs.

History
The Dologothi Continental Region is the group of landmasses formed directly around The Mouth of Chaos, and for centuries was understood as the Birthplace of Evil. Scholars posited that due to their proximity to the Mouth, the regions of Dologoth had a thinner planar boundary to the Plane of Evil, and it was sometimes referred to as The Fifth Gate (in reference to the Elemental Gates). The Mouth of Chaos and its impact on the environment makes most of Dologoth an arid wasteland of black sand deserts and barren mountains, and the native populations of the region have historically been beset with attacks by fiends and other destructive forces from the depths of the pit.

Sunless Age & Prior
Before the Solar Era, Dologoth was home to two of the venerable classical civilizations, the Dwarven Farheim and the Orcish Unarith, which both fell to Dragon invasion at the start of the Sunless Age. The Dwarven migration from the continent and eventual founding of Tharan'dul in the region surrounding the Earth Gate led to a boom in population for the Orcs who had occupied the same land. Dologoth became the site of numerous Dragon hoards, and both the nearby populations and the fiendish energies from the Mouth of Chaos were often bent to the will of the reigning dragons in the area.

Third Regal Age
Throughout the Third Regal Age, Dologoth became the primary fighting ground of the Dragon Wars. Armies and adventuring parties from other nations came to Dologoth to vanquish the Dragon threat and treated the native populations as hostile, plundering their temples and treasure troves, conquering their lands, and massacring them with abandon. The Dologothi peoples were often too destabilized to retaliate either against the foreign invaders or against local draconic tyranny.

Golden Age
Following the total extinction of Dragonkind, Dologoth continued to be a site of colonial violence under the guise of ongoing "Wars of Light". The Goblins of Gektuk, Giants of Jogunheim, and Orcs of Rag'dul long attempted to broker peace with the Illyrian continent and Tharan'dul, to no avail. Several military retaliations were launched, but the combat, technology, and magic of nations trained in violent conquest were overwhelmingly powerful. Finally, civil leaders in Dologoth formed a coalition to request national recognition and, upon direction from the Hygardian government, drafted a reformational constitution renouncing the old ways of evil. This document gave way to the Questing Accords and the formation of the Grand Kainos National Union, into which Dologoth was admitted as a single nation.
