Gilden

"The people of Gilden are the "Ironeers"; descendants of the Iron Tribes who were the first to master the art of shaping metal. In the days of the Magi clans, the Aivernach forged the swords of mastery, legendary weapons still prized by man and fallen alike. In those isolated pockets of civilization reclaimed from the wilderness, a skilled few still toil in the ancient crafts their fore-bearers mastered. They seek a leader to help them reclaim the land... and their pride"
