Regions in the Continent of Cimmeran

The continent of Cimmeran is divided up into five Regions. The five regions are:
Region of Rule (Korant)
Region of Flame (Aden-Keegan)
Region of Storms (Darnlan)
Region of Honor (Cudigan)
Region of the Gods (Apollan)

The Continent of Cimmeran is the home of the Horde of Alquennas and is divided into five governing regions. The regions cross cultural and clan boundary lines. Each of the regions is controlled by a Prefect (military governor) who reports to the Council of the Horde Chieftain. The prefect’s position is more of one of reporting and acting as a central communications and rally point during regional and national emergencies. During a declared emergency (only the Horde Chieftain can declare an emergency) the Prefect’s power becomes absolute in his/her region. The Clans that dwell within the regions are bound to the prefect’s orders. During the two Horde civil wars the prefects minimized the bloodshed by acting as a buffer between the warring factions.

Additionally each region is divided up into five provinces.

THE CAPITAL OF THE HORDE

Flag of the Horde

The Capital of the Horde is known as the Capital of the Two Worlds, the world above the ground and the world below the ground. The Capital City name means two worlds. There are two throne rooms in the Palace. One thrown room is above ground and the other is below ground. Some of the Races the Orcs prefer to meet below ground.

Above Ground

The Above Ground Throne room is called God’s chamber of illumination. There is an 18-foot diameter silvered light tube that illuminated the entire room with natural light during the day. A dazzle spell cast just above the light tube illuminates the room during night only during special functions. The light tube allows the horde leader to communicate with their god. The Throne itself is encrusted with Amber. The horde lord wears a crown of gold with 18 Red Amber jewels upon it. The floor is tiled by 36” by 36” Obsidian and Flint Tiles that shimmer in the light. The pattern is that of the (give name), diamond formation that Horde Thunder Troops use. On the walls the same obsidian and flint tile work at 12” by 12” depict Horde formations and the symbols of the 18 clans. The depiction of the first breath encircles the light tube. All in Obsidian and Flint. The archways are adorned with heroic scenes from Orcs history. Among the scenes depicted is the first victory of the Horde against the sickness known as the Dwarves.

Below Ground

The Below Ground Throne room is called the Dwelling of the chosen. Magical glow spheres illuminate it. The floor, walls and archways are adorned exactly like those in the above ground throne room. In the center of the ceiling again in Obsidian and Flint tile is the first breath surrounding an 8’ circle of amber and ivory.

The capital city is comprised of four cities that over time have been assimilated in what is known as the capital of two worlds. A vast network of Tunnels (Kobolds completed in the year) connect the four cities to each other. It wasn't until that construction began on the above ground road system. The government believed that the dirt roads and trails were enough to supplement the tunnel system. However with more traffic going above ground due to the size of the cargo. The horde minister of roads convinced the council of leaders to create a road system between the 4 cities. Overtime the four cities merged into the city of two worlds. The current population of the city of two worlds is 850,000 Horde and 5000 humans.

The Horde Chief Drang came across a human city to the east of his domain called Ki-ri. This was the western most enclave of the Chindarn. The unusual customs and ways of these humans intrigued Drang. With in five years the horde controlled all of the northern and most of the south western lands once controlled by the humans that called themselves Chindarian. The horde was unable to concur the rest of the Chindarn by the magic society of Chan Lu after an additional two years a truce was made between the horde and the province of Chindarn. The horde allowed the humans to live as workers and servants to the great horde. Over time the humans became the serfs of the horde. The humans or calton as the horde calls them are allowed to perform certain.

The Transition between the two worlds
There is a chamber that goes from the Below Ground Throne Room to the Above Ground Throne room. Within that chamber is a golden Throne that has 18 golden chains upon it. The chains are attached to a lifting device that transports the Horde Chieftain between the two throne rooms.

The Shrines of the Two Worlds
The Horde Deities of power have demanded shrines within the capital of the Two Worlds. Over the vast centuries these Shrines became portals the members of the Horde could pray and speak directly to a specific deity. A member of the horde can bring their petitions to one of the shrines and will have a better chance to have their petition heard.
