Sinval was largely made up of open meadows, and was mainly a cattle-farming country. It was also famous for its’ dreary, wet weather. The people were a dour race, but extremely stubborn and steadfast; Sinval as a nation took no nonsense from any of its’ neighbours.Sinval joined Trialt in the first attack on the Dragon's forces in 900. While the Trialtans merely fought, failed and died, an unknown and unsung warrior of the Sinvalese managed to achieve what no-one had done before, nor did again before the coming of the Wyrmslayers; he inflicted a wound on Varkar Barduric himself. The wound was fairly minor, but the Dragon's fury knew no bounds. Not satisfied with wiping out the Sinvalese army to the last man and horse, he personally spearheaded a retributive assault into Sinval that razed every town, city, village and hamlet from one end of the country to the other. Every living Sinvalese that didn't flee was slaughtered, and the land remains deserted and barren to this day. This hideous example was the direct cause of the surrender of Enning and Antrol.
