E Entries
- Eggarsdale
Dale of High Hallack, located near the waste somewhere in the upper
dales. Eggarsdale had a keep with twenty cottages in its main village.
A road ran through the dale down to the lowlands. (ZARSTHOR'S BANE).
- Eldor
Man of the Old Race of Arvon, lord of Varr in Kathal. He was Zarsthor's
brother-in-law and apparently schemed to gain power or to become
a Dark Adept. Their spirits were trapped after Zarsthor confronted
Eldor.(ZARSTHOR'S BANE).
- Elvan
Dalesman, lord of Rishdale. He was middle-age and either widowed
or divorced when he concluded a marriage with Yngilda, daughter of
Islaugha. Elvan was killed during the war with Alizon when he retreated
to his keep and attempted to withstand the war machines. (THE CRYSTAL
GRYPHON).
- Enkere
An underground river crossing the Tor Marsh which was used by the Kolder
submarine to reach the Tormen village to pick up Simon Tregarth and Loyse
of Verlaine. Its estuary was situated north to the Es city.
(WEB OF THE WITCH WORLD)
- Es City
Capitol of Estcarp. Largest city of Estcarp. Es was surrounded
by a high wall and its largest building was Es Castle, a citadel
where the Guards of Estcarp had their main base. Es was an active
trading center and the heart of Estcarpian society. (WITCH WORLD,
WEB OF THE WITCH WORLD, WARDING OF WITCH WORLD).
- Es Port
Small city on the coast of Estcarp at the mouth of the Es River.
The Sulcar ships gathered here to trade their wares. Anner Osberic
established a Sulcar community there after Sulcarkeep was destroyed
by his father, Magnis Osberic. (WEB OF THE WITCH WORLD).
- Estcarp
Domain of the Old Race in the eastern continent. Estcarp was founded
by refugees from Escore, families of the Old Race who fled the devastating
wars unleashed by the Dark Adepts. At first protected by the few
remaining Adepts of the Light, the Old Race of Estcarp were left
undefended when the Adepts accidentally destroyed themselves (or
were drawn irretrievably through an immense gate they had tried to
open in Lormt). The Witches arose from the ruin and established
order, raising up a high chain of mountains between Estcarp and Escore.
The Old Race then slowly forgot their origins and built a new civilization.
Their capitol was at Es City on the Es River, and there they built
the mighty Citadel. They established borders with Alizon and the
Tor-men and some clans gradually spred south to settle in the lands
that later became known as Karsten. When the Sulcar ships first
appeared the Old Race of Estcarp welcomed them, accepting their trade
in port cities such as Es Port at the mouth of the river. In time
Estcarp was drawn into wars with the adventurous Hounds of Alizon,
but shielded by the power of the Witches and the strength of their
own doughty warriors the Old Race came to dominate the western coasts,
trading with the younger races of men who settled in Gorm, Karsten,
and Var. Eventually, however, the Kolder entered the Witch World
and realizing the potential threat of the Old Race tried to eradicate
them. Gorm and Karsten were turned against Estcarp as Alizon launched
a new war. When Karsten turned against its own Old Race clans, Estcarp
welcomed them home and eventually the Witches destroyed Karsten's
army by turning the mountains between the two nations. The Falconers,
allies of Estcarp who had settled in the mountains, for a time took
refuge in Estcarp but their customs were too foreign and offensive
to the Old Race for the two peoples to live close together. Some
of the Sulcar also settled in Estcarp after their chief fortress,
Sulcarkeep, was destroyed in the war with the Kolder. After the
Witches lost much of their power, Koris of Gorm assumed control of
Estcarp, governing wisely. He led the nation in re-establishing
its influence and opening new ties with Alizon after a young Alizonder
lord entered Lormt through a gate. Lormt was the oldest city of
Estcarp, having been established by the Adepts of the Light before
Estcarp was itself founded. Many ancient records were preserved
or partially preserved there and after a thousand years a small community
of scholars dug through the crypts and chambers of Lormt looking
for clues to their past and to the power their race had once commanded.

- Ewald
Dalesman of High Hallack, from Uppsdale, brother of Gyrerd. Ewald
was killed during the war with Alizon. Savron was probably their
father. (SPELL OF THE WITCH WORLD).
- Exiles of Arvon
Members of the Old Race who were sent out from Arvon after the Great
Struggle in which peace was restored to the ancient realm of the
Old Race. Many of the Exiles settled or wandered in the Waste, but
some lingered near the sea in the ruins of the old places where Arvon's
people had dwelt before taking the Road of Memory back to Arvon.
Some of the Exiles interbred or at least interacted with the Dalesmen
of High Hallack. (THE CRYSTAL GRYPHON, YEAR OF THE UNICORN, THE
JARGOON PARD).
