Outlands

Legend

“Once a realm stretching from North to South of our World. But then The Rim grew forth.”

“Those of their lands cite a legend, of heroes travelling from both poles to face a god.”

~Skjald Yell'a'Beard

 

Description

Very little is known to us about these lands, which are farther away in races and culture than in distance. They are killing and enslaving those who dare travel there. This we know from Yell'a'Beard, the only one we know of who has travelled there and returned, and from prisoners who gave sparse phrases or outright bragged about their lands.

“It seems each race there, is much more self-isolated and hostile, than ours.”

~Skjald Ulrich

 

History

Dark Ages

Very little is known to us about their history, even the longest living ones, and thus with fewest ancestral steps to the time before our world have but vague mentions of these races. The most prominent amongst their memories are the Gaji-Kulat. Because of their towering presence, but nothing really stands out.

First Age

Amongst the races dispersed across the Outlands, the dominant Romasai experienced the Great Pox, killing a large portion of their kin. Besides from that we know little about their first age on our world.

Second Age

Aside their frustration of Armelien being cut in halves, we know nothing. Not even Vampires has been willing to share information with us, as they say its not their task in our world to do so. Thus we know nothing about the time between the 1st Cataclysm, and the appearence of the Bullheaded God.

Third Age

We know the Bullheaded God appeared, and lost the duel to Vampires and their allies.

Fourth Age

As such the Deep Blue Tsunami had little impact on these distant lands.

Fifth Age

What will happen now no one can foresee.

“It is our hope their defeat at Battle of Unnumbered Tears, have made them stay away.”

~Skjald Ulrich

 

Cartography

Outlands are inhabited by hostile Races and generally unknown to us. In fact, I think I’m the only one of us who has been there and returned to tell of the sightings.

But up north, at the Eastern side of the peninsula sticking out from The Rim, they call Armelien, lies Utallantu, home of the Kinoblin. On the Western side lies The Misty Isles, of which I know only the name and that Anurai originates from there.

Armeliens Northern Half, Ragdim, is dominated by the Romasai. Who controls the vast steppes but generally shuns the mountains, which are dominated by other races, of which I know but this:

The Western, longest stretching mountains are called Kultu and are home of the Pigryn.

There are two ranges on the eastern shore, of which the southern one is called Ocila, and the northern one is called Lizard Lands, inhabited by the lizzard-like Hutankai. Southmost in these lands, all the way down to The Rim, lies Uestu -land of the Gaji-Kulat.

“It was our luck the Hutankai suddenly charged the Anurai, in the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.”

~Skjald Yell'a'Beard

 

Organisation

We know so little it would be pure speculation to state anything.

“Each race has its own areas, culture, leaders, and distinguished looks.”

Special

Don’t travel there; they will enslave, cook, or kill you.

“It can’t be said simpler, going there is insane.”
