South

Major States

An-Teng

• Population:
• Leader:
• Gods: 
• Threats: 

Behind their centuries-old façade of humble subservience to the Realm, the Tengese seethe with resentment. They lack focus for their anger, but should someone provide a goal to fight for, they might astound Creation

Chiaroscuro -

• Population:
• Leader:
• Gods: 
• Threats: 

The trade hub for the South and capital of the Delzahn Empire. Ever more people seek their fortune amid the glittering ruins despite—or perhaps because of—the Delzahn Horde’s somewhat casual approach to governance. Ironically, Chiaroscuro might face less of a challenge in the Time of Tumult because the city’s Delzahn masters just let it all happen, confident that they can ride the storm of change. The Delzahn face an internal division between city and country tribesmen, however, that could tear their culture apart.

City of the Steel Lotus -

• Population:
• Leader:
• Gods: 
• Threats: 

Dajaz -

Gem

• Population:
• Leader: The Despot
• Gods: 
• Threats: 

Once a mining town, now an economic empire devoted to the accumulation and acquisition of wealth. Known for cut-throat merchants, and Gladiatorial displays.

Harbourhead

• Population:
• Leader:
• Gods: 
• Threats: 

For centuries, the Realm barely held the restive nation in thrall, and barely kept the Harborheadites’ tribal rivalries in check. As the Realm’s garrison weakens, the ever-aggressive Harborheadites move toward war. Whether that war is against the Realm, their neighbors or each other, remains to be seen.

The Lap

• Population:
• Leader:
• Gods: 
• Threats: 

A society built upon a mountain-sized statue in the form of a meditating Buddha (the main settlement being in its "Lap"). A peaceful, prosperous satrapy of the Realm with no stomach for war, it provides half the food for the entire South.

Krighast

• Population:
• Leader:
• Gods: 
• Threats: 

Urim

• Population:
• Leader:
• Gods: 
• Threats: 

Varangia

• Population:
• Leader:
• Gods: 
• Threats: 

Its astrology-obsessed citizens want the rest of Creation to leave them alone. The stars themselves tell the Varang that they hope in vain. Not only are they caught between the warlike Harborheadites and the Delzahn, the nation’s expanding populations of slaves and outcastes would see the current order overthrown. Try as the Varang might, they—and everyone else—have entered the furnace of war and upheaval. Whether they emerge as something new and better or are consumed to ash is up to fate… and the Exalted.
