Albion is a region in the West georgraphical area, corresponding to modern day Britain. Nearly all humans fled Albion after the Kingslayer Wars and the death of The Merlin. Pushing the humans out of Albion were the Fomorians, a race of evil giants. The Fomorians ruled Albion without dispute for two decades. Then the elves of the the west convened a great council and chose to retake their ancient homeland from the Fomorians. The elves expelled the giants in less than a decade. A few rogue giants remain, but not a seriously threatening force. Now the elves permit none except elves the enter Albion and herd the last remaining humans into scattered settlements.
