Dewyddair is a temperate land of great mountain chains and broad valleys in Barathorn, south of the Dragon Sea. The country was settled by skyfaring tribes from Colnoria in the third century before Salmakhamer under the leadership of the Parkyon Tribe and their Mipnor Kings. Most humans in southern Barathorn are descended from these original colonists. Two mountain chains stretch through the length of the country, the Skrall Mountains in the south and parallel to them, the Kindurth Mountains to the north. The Dragon Sea forms the north boundary, the shore of Lake Blackwaves the northeastern boundary and the South Skrall Mountains form the southwestern boundary. The word 'skrall' comes from an old Colnorian term of derision for trolls whom the first sky tribes encountered.

Dewyddair is the cultural core of southern Barathorn and the former center of the Skymark Dominion. The current government, the Skymark Republic, only rules Dewyddair and some overseas colonies. The Skymark Republic or simply Skymark as it is usually called is neighbors with the Republic of Gonsk, the Kingdom of Glaye, and the Free City of Elmundel. The primary language of Dewyddair is the Parkyon Language which is related to Colnorian and Medibgóëse.
