Norlin

Norlin is the origin of many Dulina families and lineages, and is where the Dulina language originates from.

Although Norlin has been in theory a single country for most of its existence, in practice its governance has almost always been done almost exclusively on a local level, and virtually everyone speaks widely divergent dialects of Norlen rather than "Bookspeak".

Several decades before the birth of Kelbren Norlin broke up as the result of the printing press making the runic alphabet originally designed for grave stones replace pictographic language and betray the vast linguistic gulfs between Norlin's six valleys, the Commune and two parks. This decree by the King ultimately led to the overthrow and massacre of both his family and the Monastery, expect for two monks and their wives who escaped to Dulin and founded the Dulina monarchy.
