This former part of the Miforan Empire became an important nation due to its geographical location. Being remarkable ship builders and having access to both the Tal River and the Sarodin Sea meant it quickly grew into the most important trade hub in the world.
Its people are of a no-nonsense kind (many would say blunt) who take pride in their profession and living a 'proper' life, instead of wasting their time on this world. This is also why worship of Ulaa is common in the country, even though there are no mountains and little mining, the Dolacs appreciate her diligence.
Technically the country is a monarchy with the current queen, Helia, being a direct descendant of Paneg Sevso himself, at least that is what the royal house claims. However, the queen is not much more than a figure head, the actual power in the nation is held by its many guilds.
A sore point with the guilds is that they never had a real far reaching mercantile house, though Dolac citizens form a very important part of both Abraxis Combine and House Ditta.
The eastern part of the country is where most of the wealth is concentrated; the shipyards, textile industry, and distilleries. The poorer western part contains little more than agricultural and fishing villages, some leather-working industry, and peat bogs.

The last fifteen kilometers of the Fiumare river before it empties into the Tal estuary it is surrounded by sheer rock faces that rise 1,200 metres or more on either side. Two special rocks can be found along the top, one resembling a heron with its wings spread wide and the other looks like a penguin, many of which can be found here.
Wizards Tower
This butte rises 256 meters from the ground, at the top it is 64 meters in diameter, while the base is 128 meters in diameter. It can be found in the southwest of country, there are no mountains, or even tall hills, anywhere nearby and it is still a mystery how it came to be. The name was given because of the resemblance to the types of towers wizards like to build.
