The Isle of Glaoveln is one of the home islands of the Krolvin. It is a Krolvin settlement northwest of Wehnimer's Landing and west of Icemule Trace.

Glaoveln is located in the arctic region of Elanthia, west of Pinefar. It is visible from as far south as Wehnimer's Landing, however. It is mainly a cold and desolate location ringed with rocky cliffs and sandy beaches. Pine forests covers parts of the island not cleared for habitation. The main and only city on Glaoveln is the city of Glaeve, which serves as a center for trade and commerce between the Krolvin. The population of Glaoveln experienced massive ecological and cultural devastation due the eruption of the volcano on the island. These event's, and following efforts from the nation of Northwatch, have transformed the economy from a slave based economy to a trade based economy. The ramifications of these changes are still being felt to this day.

History

  • Glaoveln was first established as a safe harbor during the era of the early raids against Turamzzyr, but the harsh, wintry island boasted only a shifting, seasonal population of krolvin until the 4870s.


  • In 5118 an attacking force from Wehnimer's Landing landed on Glaoveln and attacked the island with a targeted poison that killed the warlord in charge at the time.


  • In 5124 an expedition out of Northwatch drove out one faction of Krolvin and placed a faction pledged to Northwatch in charge of the island. The Northwatch Krolvin pledged to end the practice of slavery on the island.
