The Dragon Pass is a rather small party of the world. However it's considered by many (and especially by Heortling) to be the most important part. This is where they god met and married, and where they started the lightbringers quest. As the book about heortling says "this is where everything important happens. Actually if anything  important happens elsewhere it's because it's tied in to something important happening here."
Of course, their point of view is somewhat biased.

In Gloranthan historical terms, the winning player replaces Sartar, who had a very profound and important impact on the Dragon Pass. The various clans now consider themselves part of a nation and started to act together instead of against each other. This is, I believe, what gave the Sartarite a chance against the Lunars much later.

Moah, platypus powaaa!
