''"We were never monsters." - Atlas (Guardian of the Blade)''

The Reformed States of Dologoth (R.S.D.) is a constitutional republic comprised of disparate states: centrally, Jogunheim, Gektuk, and Rag'dul. The R.S.D. signed its reformational constitution in 1220 SE, heralding the formation of the Grand Kainos National Union. "Dologoth" traditionally refers to the Dologothi Continental Region, and is primarily populated by Giants, Goblins, and Orcs.

History
The Dologothi Continental Region is the group of landmasses formed directly around The Mouth of Chaos, which is sometimes referred to as a Fifth Gate (in reference to the Elemental Gates). The Mouth of Chaos and its impact on the environment makes most of Dologoth an arid wasteland of black sand deserts and barren mountains, and the native populations of the region have historically been beset with attacks by fiends and other destructive forces from the depths of the pit. The civilizations that developed on this continent were largely nomadic and anti-materialistic due to an intimate connection with creative-destructive cycles of order and chaos.

Sunless Age & Prior
Before the Solar Era, Dologoth was home to two of the venerable classical civilizations, the Dwarven Farheim and the Orcish Unarith, which both fell to Dragon invasion at the start of the Sunless Age. The Dwarven migration from the continent and eventual founding of Tharan'dul in the region surrounding the Earth Gate led to a boom in population for the Orcs who had occupied the same land. Dologoth became the site of numerous Dragon hoards, and the fiendish energies from the Mouth of Chaos were often bent to the will of the reigning dragons in the area.

Third Regal Age
Throughout the Third Regal Age, Dologoth became the primary fighting ground of the Dragon Wars. Armies and adventuring parties from other nations came to Dologoth to vanquish the Dragon threat and treated the native populations as hostile, often plundering their temples and treasure troves as well as conquering their lands to gain advantage against the draconic threat. The Dologothi peoples were beset on both sides by the foreign invaders and local draconic tyranny.

Golden Age
Following the total extinction of Dragonkind, localized faction wars and land conflicts in Dologoth continued. The Goblins of Gektuk, Giants of Jogunheim, and Orcs of Rag'dul long attempted to broker peace with the Illyrian continent and Tharan'dul, to no avail. Several military retaliations were launched, but found themselves overwhelmed by the meticulous arcane destructiveness of the foreign powers. Finally, civil leaders in Dologoth formed a coalition to request national recognition and, upon direction from the Hygardian government, drafted a reformational constitution renouncing their prior "ways of evil". This document gave way to the Questing Accords and the formation of the Grand Kainos National Union, into which Dologoth was admitted as a single nation.
