Men, Dwarves, Elves and other creatures lived in this mysterious land. However, Gwyndor was not all a place of peace and prosperity, far off near the borders of the east, there was a land called Azurg, a land where the sun forbid to shine and simply setting foot in the land drains the life right out of you if you were not strong enough.
