The Haidheltac Empire stood to the west of the Syth in what is now Namorn. It has fallen now, but many of its customs still run rampant among the Namornese, such as the custom or tradition of bride kidnapping that has affected women such as Gudruny Iarun. It is unknown if the empire stood at the same time as the Kurchal Empire, although it is probable that they have overlapped. Dragonstone Castle, an imperial residence, comes from the Haidheltac Empire, and is built in that style.
