The Dark Lands of the Steel Realms (“darklands”)

Steel Realms

Located on Ustermaya .

The Dark Lands of modern times are the lands east of the Tolkisson Range of mountains. Once the Orrish dwelt in the north. They constantly try to connect the Dark Lands to the Underlands of the Steel Realms.

PROTECTING THE DARKLANDS FROM THE SUN-BANE IS THE CURTAIN OF NIGHT. Once, the “Darklands” were north of the eastern lands of old dominion (Orrishai), now they are the Fallen East.

Orrish Ur-Darsh (states) and Tribes

Though from the outside, all life in the Darklands seems violent, brutish, and short, there is a concerted effort to keep certain things organized in order to not extinguish the fire of anger and rage. The Darklands are arranged in a loose confederacy, all under the Unholy Trio – the gods of darkness. These are “nation-states” called Ur-Darsh. These are lead by the priesthood of the gods of darkness. Each has a priest-king and attendant administrators which oversee breeding programs, food supplies, and all the non-war efforts that the Church of Darkness operates. Just under the priest-king is a war-leader with elite war-overseers which serve to organize large war efforts that coordinate a tribe or multiple tribes. Spread and mixed throughout the Darklands are the Orrish tribes – mostly Ork and Goblin.
