Throt is a Hobgoblin and Human land that is located east of Lemish, south of Nightlund, and west of Estwilde. Its major geographical features are the Southern Dargaard Mountains on the western border, the Northern Dargaard Mountains and the Forest of Throtl in the northeast, the Throtl Gap is between the Northern and Southern Dargaard Mountains, and Newsea to the south. It is a grassy plains land that has constant rain on it all year round causing it to have many bog-lands in it.
Age of Despair[]
Throt was founded a few years after the Cataclysm by a warlord named Khara Warbringer. During the turmoil following the Cataclysm, many raiders and warlords were attacking the nations of Ansalon. Khara was attacking nations north of present day Throt. Finally, he decided to settle where the capital city of current Throt is and carved out his own land. Where he picked the city of Throtl to be is a storm riddled land and is why Throt got its current name, due to the storms 'throttling' the land. A Duke by the name of Instan Westmier later came in and took over all of Throt from the bandits, and then during the 200s AC, Solamnia officially recognized it as a nation.
Just before the War of the Lance, the current leader of Throt Lord Borlin Galuvere contacted Solamnia about possibly accepting Throt as a new province. Before that could happen, the War of the Lance broke out and hobgoblins invaded and took over Throt. Most humans that lived there fled into Solamnia to escape the hordes of Goblins and hobgoblins that are now living there.
Age of Mortals[]
The Chaos War didn't affect Throt negatively, but actually improved the life and land. The raiding by hobgoblins upon refugees increased, bringing much wealth into the hobgoblin nation. There are many nomadic tribes of hobgoblins and goblins there that owe allegiance to the King of Throt who is a hobgoblin. Also the land area of Qwalmish from Estwilde was added to the realm after the Dragon Overlord Lorrinar claimed Qwalmish.
