The East Wilds were settled by colonists from Dragon Pass over 1400 years ago. The East Wilds are a rugged land, and many live by herding or hunting. Until the Dragonkill War, it was closely linked to the ruling councils of Dragon Pass. A Sun Dome Temple was founded in the Second Age by the Empire of the Wyrms Friends. However, with the Dragonkill War, they lost their magic that let their messengers fly easily to Dragon Pass, and the East Wilds gets only the occasional caravan from Peloria.
The East Wilds are hostile towards the trolls of Halikiv, and their great hero, Retter the Stalker, unified the tribes of Delela through his raids deep into Halikiv. Despite this, nocturnal troll caravans under the protection of the Argan Argar Chain travel between Halikiv and Safelster. Chaos monsters sometimes invade from Karia.
Orlanth and his Lightbringer deities dominate the East Wilds, along with Yelmalio, and numerous spirit cults.
Beyond the East Wilds are the Western Rockwoods, a high mountain range, with few passes. Kartolin Pass is the easiest and best known, but it is blocked by Castle Kartolin – and beyond is the haunted land of Dorastor.
