You could either have the white-skinned barbarians be the original human culture of the wildlands region, or you could have them be a culture confined to the lands east of the Forenmark River, as some people (Andrew was one, IIRC) had the idea that the human culture I created could be of Ethengarian stock, as it would help plotlines and theories elsewhere. It doesn't matter to me personally, but those are some options. It would also create another interesting dynamic, too. > - The influence of the golden dragons in the Wildlands started after > 450, when a covenant between the two races was forged.

By which time, according to my timeline, there was little in the way of an elvish presence in the region, anyway... > Note: There was once a discussion about a Gondolin-style elven refuge in Mengul. This conflict might be a good starting point for it? Perhaps! I remember that discussion well, and I think I have the notes somewhere. Given my Northern Wildlands writeup, a Gondolin-style refuge has more plausibility now...
