Faebor

The Kingdom of Faebor is a region in the south-east part of Dalestar, bordering Estavia to the north, Garmonia to the south-west, Dalzburg to the north-east and Albersia to the east and Raagost to the west. The capital of Faebor is the city of Carmadil, which is located on Albion Isle in Lake Astalum.

Names and Origin
The name 'Faebor' is from the language of Garmonii, the tongue of the Garmonians. Faebor means 'Land of the Dark Forests'. The Beltacian Empire named Faebor as Feiberg which means the same thing.

In the First Age around 5200 AI the country was called Bugeiran which included the land of Albersia as well. Bugeiran was the barbarian name for Faebor which meant 'Land of the Wolves' or 'Wolf Land'. The settlers of Bugeiran hated the wolves and killed as many as they could until they all started hiding in the Balchost and Falagost Mountains.
