Lands of Blood

The region known as the Lands of Blood lies directly north of the  Bleeding Mountain , along the Bloody Coast. It is a rocky, barren land, fairly devoid of life. Sandstorms are regular, unburnt trees are scarce, and few animals live there. The people that do live in this region are known as the  Yakmaki , and they worship  fire and dragons , and live in loosely-organized, feuding tribes. They arrived here over a hundred years ago, burning everything and everyone in their path, and displacing the old inhabitants; the men of the High Kingdom of Idar-Morbach. The petty duchies that once existed there have been forgotten, as the landscape has changed so much in the wake of constant burning that it’s now unrecognizable. The region has seldom had a single ruler, for the Yakmaki respect only power, and with the death of the conqueror, so too dissolves their hold over the region. Recently, the  Alvyrnian Empire  has stationed  imperial military  outposts in the region, but since the region isn’t politically united, and is constantly in a state of war, it’s more them adding their own army to the pile. This military occupation is led by an appointed Military Gouvernour, who is tasked with overseeing justice, taxation, and law in the region. His control is tenuous, and only nominal; and the second the Empire removes their garrisons is the second any pretense of control is lost, for the Yakmaki are naught but blood and flame.
