In almost complete contrast to the hyena wastes of the Zhurian East stand the Realms of the Doglands — a loose constellation of citadels and town-states nestled between the ridges of Izhura and the guarded frontiers of the Lions’ territorial dominions. Where the hyena tribes thrive on terror, filth, and frenzy, the folk of the …

Krothuum
If Gorzanth is the iron fist and Zarnack the poisoned tongue, then Krothuum is the whetstone—hard, cracked, and merciless. A forge-town in the southern savannah, its cracked walls are less defense than defiance. Smoke curls above it not from incense or sacred flame, but from coal-pits and bellows. The gutters run with slag, the air …
Gunrang – A City In Retreat
Little more than a diminishing coastal city state, Perched on the far northeastern edge of Zhuru’s mangrove-blighted coast, Gunrang clings to life like a half-submerged lily pad at the edge of a slow, diseased current. Once a hopeful trading outpost straddling the fertile waterways between Izhura’s eastern forests and the outer swampfront of Varduun, the …
Yir – The Tower-Jungle Swamps
Yir is no mere swamp but a kingdom of vapors perched high above the world. Cold rainforests sprawl across shattered uplands where the land itself rises in broken cliffs, thousands of feet above the grasslands below. Mazes of mangroves knot with drowned forests, and black pools yawn like mouths between their roots. Paths vanish overnight, …
Old Kartong – The Untamed City
LocationOld Kartong rises in the central wastelands of Zhuru, east of the Yorozhian Hell Desert and south of the Crater Sea. Its position at the throat of caravan routes makes it impossible to ignore. Merchants, raiders, smugglers—all who cross the desert or skirt the sea must pass near Kartong’s shadow. Overview On a land that …
The Kartonga – The Wastes of Old Kartong
The Kartonga is a wound within Zhuru, a land so dry and desolate it rivals the worst of the world’s deserts. The ground is scarred with craters, the sky forever hazed with dust. At its heart looms Old Kartong, the spire-city, a jagged fang of stone carved into impossible angles. No one agrees whether it …
Gorzanth – The Fortress-City
Gorzanth is no jewel, no haven. It is a scar, a fortress squatting on its hill like a carrion beast. Its walls are blackened with soot, its gates plated in iron and scarred with the sigils of conquered folk. From afar, Gorzanth looks less like a city than a siege engine frozen in time, contempt …
Varduun – The Hyenalands
Varduun is a land cursed twice. Once by fire, when Drael fell and the earth split, vomiting up new coasts and subvolcanic plains. Again by its inhabitants, for the hyenas infested the land and made it their own. It is hellishly hot and dry, its grass scorched by fumes, its rivers bitter with ash. Coastal …
