The Moine Empire which the Greypine bloodline winds through is not alone in the wilderness. Not only are there other similar people, but there are a few entirely different kinds of people, and many scattered kingdoms crawling their way back up from the anarchy left behind after a large asteroid impacted on a continental shelf.

Geology
While individual geology may differ, the nature of the planetary cataclysm creates certain common ground. The impact created a heating of the atmosphere, melting the dense polar caps, and since those ice sheets were on land, the resulting deluge swamped much of the lowlands planet-wide. Mountain ranges, and entire tectonic plates were moved by the impact, and only the nature of the asteroid itself prevented it from causing more wide-spread destruction.

In some places there is still a thick layer of iridium remaining on or near the surface. The reaction resistant material makes for a metalic sheen in some places where it was deposited after the polar caps began to recover.
