History
The Giantdowns was home to Lutins, giants, dire-wolves, ogres, and other creatures that would attempt to go through the Metamor Valley to conquer the fertile Midlands.
Due to the Keep… they continually failed.
Then about 500 CR, a human wizard named Nasoj came to power circa +500CR when he overthrew the Sorth republic.
Nasoj then developed a large empire that held most of the Giantdowns under its control. At one time he controlled a large portion of the Giantdowns but that is slowly shrinking to a small area around Nasojassa (his capital) and the Death Mountains.
Eventually, Nasoj was defeated and buried under the ruins of his citadel.
Meanwhile, in the eastern section of the Giantdowns, the Lom Shi'Un empire developed then declined.
Eventually, the area came under the auspices of the Empire of Metamor.
