The cold, sparsely-populated tract of land to the east of the Shadowpeaks, while populated predominantly by humans, has no official government, and functions entirely separately from Ibania to the west. First named Fafdor (place of silence) by early dwarvic explorers, the few who have settled this region sometimes call it the Dawnlands, or Land of Dawn. Indeed, that any people at all live in these beautiful and austere lands is due to Ibanist religious fervor. Pilgrims of the faith from around the world make their way to Fafdor, if they can, because they believe the gods first set foot upon the earth on the shores of the sea at Provenance. Furthermore, it is believed that the final resurrection of Iban will take place here, before the separation of holy and faithless. 

Because of this history, Fafdor remains a place bound up tightly with religious practice. The streets of Provenance and Evensong empty for evening prayers to the sound of cathedral bells, and the sound of singing fills the air twice a day from the many churches dotting the area. While the diocese of Ibanist churches enjoy outsized power in the power vacuum of Fafdor, far less abuse of power has occurred throughout the years in Fafdor as has taken place in Ibania. Furthermore, the close-knit nature of the culture has generated social fabrics stronger than many across Blimnor. However, the few apostates in the region can face ostracization or worse.
