Cultures that Survived the Sundering

Most of cultures that were largely untouched by the Sundering were those that lived in the wild regions that were less disrupted. Many elements of their culture were still lost but the wilds were more or less the same and they could survive and adapt. However a few complex cultures existed in regions that were largely untouched by the most catastrophic elements of the sundering and continued since then.

The Dwarven Clan Khan-Khalistan was largely unaffected by the sundering. In response to the events they sealed their city Bahk-Bahlan off from the world until the year 1120 HL. Most other dwarven clans consider this to have been a dishonorable act of cowardice. Since opening their doors they have been slow to integrate into the outside world.

The Qualiari Elven culture survived the sundering completely unharmed. They ruled the continent of Arnea for around 300 hundred years following the sundering. Sometime around that time their culture suddenly collapsed and as a people they vanished. The archeological evidence suggests a sudden mass-migration or extinction. Several scholars suggest there is evidence that the Cult of the Maniac was possibly involved in the collapse or at least tampered with the historical records from the Qualiari Ruins.
