Volodar

Volodar, sometimes spelled Valodar, lies to the west of Eredar and was the homeland of the Elves and Mole-men, who were at the time known as the Volodari. The majority of the continent sank into the sea sometime in the First Era, although the cause of this catastrophe is still debated today. Some suggest a series of natural earthquakes caused it, while others argue that it was the Famor group, the Dirgahirge. The Volodari escaped this disaster by traveling to Eredar, in the province of what would later become Macefall, arriving late in the First Era. One reference claims that "the Mole-men destroyed Volodar so they could make their journey" to Eredar, but does not elaborate.

Geography
The continent, when it existed, was a place where "rocky, barren hills were matched by the fecund combination of sophisticated agriculture, politics, and warfare. It was a harsh environment, training the Volodari well for their lives in Eredar.

History
What little is known about the continent is that a series of civil wars took place there. The first of these occurred in the Third Century, and the second during the Seventh Century. During the last civil war, the only known participants were a "renegade band of Famor called the Dirgahirge", who were defeated. At some point the Mole-men had a war with the Elves, whom they defeated using Titanitum weapons.
