"The people of the Parginian Rim consider their lands to be the cradle of civilization, and they will never let you forget it. Never mind that the Atalan Empire has gone for a thousand years - its heritage is still on everyone's mind here, and they will consider all outsiders to be somewhat uncouth and uncultured, whether that outsider is a savage hobgoblin or a proud, civilized Flannish man.
But perhaps that attitude is understandable. After all, their lands are dotted with ruins from prouder times, so they simply can't escape their heritage…"

The Parginian Rim used to be the heartland of the old Atalan Empire, the region that Atalus conquered first, and whose culture it influenced the most.
