The Marshworn

The Marshworn are a race that inhabits Arken, specifically in The Country of Revelon. They share the continent with The Duff, and The Trigalo.

An important distinction to make is between Marshworn the race, and Marshworn the kingdom, which is now known as Revelon. This change occured in 500 3E, when the senate voted to change their government from a feudal system to a republic. They renamed their country Revelon, and those from the country are known as Revelon, not Marshworn.

The Marshworn are an ethnicity of Humans who often have square builds, dark curly hair, and dark skin that ranges from a dark tan to a deep brown color, as well as large square builds.

The Marshworn are said to have originally come from Dragovere, though it's just as likely they are from Haphia. Little is known about them, but they landed in what is now southern Ravenwing around the year 364, led by an enigmatic man who called himself "The Goose". They soon encountered conflict with The Grugons, and they battled them many times over the centuries. though Goose initally opposed and avoided all conflict, after his early death, his sons took over and waged a brutal war with The Grugons. This was was known as The War of Sons.

As time went on, The Marshorn made their way west and settled the central area of Arken, quickly developing that way due to many natural resources being discovered in the Whiterain Mountains, as well as gold being found in the Whiterain River.

After The Duff conquered the Grugons, The Marshworn were quickly pushed out of the Kenu Peninsula, and retreated to the west. As time went on, they continued to feud with The Duff, who constantly pushed at their borders, leading to many notable conflicts, such as The Corkbed War.
