| − | ==== Helegu vs Telehetti ====
| + | * Chaos |
| − | After enduring 10 years of Helegu expeditionary forces making deep incursions, the western mamba plain was decimated by a huge (50,000 Helegu + 100,000 ancillaries) Helegu lead army 135 years prior to the fall of the last Khaganate. For 5 years the Helegu lead army rampaged across the Erensari destroying farms and villages but were unable to draw Telehetti warriors into a pitched battle.

| | | | |
| − | The Telehetti turned away the great herds and burnt crops to deny the Helegu food, dammed rivers to slow the invaders, abandoned poorly defensible areas, melted away before the invader, engaged in an endless guerilla war campaign and summoned the dark forces of the land to drain the will of the invaders.
| + | == History == |
| | | | |
| − | Lead by the Telehetti Champion Dogon the Star Holder, a small force of Erensari cut off the Helegu’s army leadership and slaughtered them. Foremost among them Mengu-Timur Khaganate, the ruler of the United Helegu Confederation. His killing struck the deathblow for the demoralised army which returned to the horse clan homelands.
| + | === [[The Alin]] === |
| | | | |
| − | Under the Roaring Host the Helegu continued to conduct raids into the Erensari for almost a century. Learning how best to strike at the Helegu from success and defeat , the Telehetti became expert in frustrating the long-term Helegu ambition in their homeland.
| + | The Alin were a powerful race that dwelt on distant worlds. |
| | | | |
| − | 20 years ago a force of 15,000 Helegu and 35,000 ancillary forces were lured deep into the southern Mamba Plains where they were annihilated in less than a day. Seemingly vanished without a trace, they are now known as as Jayaatu’s lost army and are now the stuff of legend.
| + | === [[Caridern]] === |
| | | | |
| − | There have been numerous ‘unsanctioned’ raids by both sides since the comprehensive beating down of the Helegu in the past 20 years but nothing that would suggest full scale war is inevitable.
| + | The Caridern are an extinct elder race of smoky blue skinned elves whose final cause of extinction is unknown to modern races. |

| | | | |
| − | The elder being [[Ammutseba]] was one such being that one Carkade faction was in thrall to and created a widespread cult dedicated to it.

| + | The Ephereum are a race of fey with nictating eyes and green luminescent skin containing algae beneath the surface. |
| − | Faced with an existential crisis the elite who were secret members of the Cult of Ammutseba made a pact with that elder being. While the rest of their race, lands, cities and culture were immolated, the elite and important servants were saved from oblivion with the gift of immortality. They were turned into undead - the mummies of Carkade created from the elite, lesser undead from the servants and shades & shadows from the slaves.
| |

| |
| | | | |
| − | A powerful confederation of nomadic tribes that were united under a great leader Khagan Temir 300 years ago.

| + | ===Magic=== |
| | | | |

| − | The nation exists on a plateau with hills to the west and east, mountains to the south and the Brass Desert to the north. It is dry and hot in summer, cool and wet in the brief winter. Thousands of years ago it was incredibly wet and lush and still maintains some remnant forests and deep lakes which are seemingly bottomless. | |
| | | | |
| − | The eastern part of Treonol is largely borderlands and wilderness with towns strung out along the old caravan routes, which are now being turned into the fortified roads. Before the Helegu invasions the east was more heavily populated and the Treonol in constant conflict with Jayak tribes.
| + | === [[Gods]] === |
| | | | |
| − | Orcs once roamed the fringes of Treonol in the more rugged and forested parts, while hill giants remain common and constant problem. A few stone giants have made their way north in recent years and occasionally other humanoids such as gnolls and trolls will migrate through. Dwarves fought alongside the Treonol 130 years ago but have bunkered down in their underground fortresses, never having made a formal peace deal with the Helegu, though they seem prepared to wait out this current human empire.
| + | Distant Players in the reality game, the modern day gods no longer enter the mortal plane in any meaningful way. |
| | | | |

| − | Undebted and free Treonol citizens live in constant fear of becoming an Indebted to one of the Grand Merchants. Travel is restricted by the Autocrat’s court and only the Grand Merchants may travel freely without the need for permission. Even general traders need permission to cross territories and permission to leave is rarely granted to free citizens and never to the Indebted.

| + | An elderday race |
| | | | |
| − | Before the Helegu the Treonol alternately fought and traded with the Gimu Steppe Warriors, Jayak tribes , dwarves, humanoids and previous dynasties of Semudan. Interaction with Orcs and dwarves of the western hills was frequent, though the Orcs have now retreated to distant strongholds and dwarves make infrequent contact at trading posts.

| − | The Argos Kingdom ruled this area more than 500 years ago, falling after a series of succession wars (the last of which was orchestrated by Death Cults) and pressure from waves of humanoids being driven east and south by steppe nomads. The western part of Argos overlapped with eastern Treonol.

| − | Treonol has been a client state to the Helegu for the last 150 years.

The Helegu have fought several Treonoli rebellions since the breakup of the great khanate 130 years ago which killed and enslaved at least a further half million Treonol. For the past 50 years the Treonol elite have thrown in their lot with the Helegu and actively suppressed any idea of rebellion among the populace.
