Eastern History

This page is to describe history that occurred in the Silver Lands, the region east of what is on the main map. Currently, it also describes some things to the south of wesnoth. This should eventually be moved, or we could rename the page.

Best map as of 2011-11-01. Relevant part is everything to the south-east of Lin-Elens.
