Orrishai (abandoned Orrish lands)
Orrishai is the original home of the Orrish that followed The Blood of Saemon through the gate between worlds. Its lands are blighted and scoured from the ages of being “protected” by the
Veil of Tears (now Curtain of Night). When the sun finally came to these lands as the Orrish invaded the south, everything not already over harvested or scoured by rain became dried and withered. It is of no use to the
Lich Lords, the
Orrish of Helca, or any other sentient race – it would be too much to work to restore the resources that were destroyed.
It is slowly, over thousands of years, coming back to life. The Orrish sometimes raid across it to hunt a few of the animals that have returned, and so the border (a night’s striking distance) between the current Dark Lands and Orrishai is mostly devoid of sustenance.
