The East Kingdom of Luran
The Kingdom of Luran is an unforgiving jungle, populated by exotic beasts, seedy merchants and otherwise dangerous individuals. Explorers tend to be drawn to the land through stories of riches that are said to lie deep within an old and near forgotten ruin. There are whispers of beast men stalking the dense jungle as well as an ancient Witch-Queen who lurks deep within the ruin itself, although no one alive can confirm if the rumours are true, or if it was a ruse set up by the Outlaws to fend off the curious from the gold inside. Any who journey into jungle are never seen again or if they are, return changed and altered by their experiences, for their ramblings speak of pirates, assassins and cults of a wicked nature who serve an unknown master

The Deserts of the Jezu Tribe
Long ago, the Jezu tribes were once united under a single leader and ruled over the entirety of the desert. They were a tribe of craftsmen, artisans and merchants and considered one of the more civilized people in the Exiled Lands. Recently however, as other factions evolved around them, the Tribe began to fracture, its leadership called into question. While it was originally a patriarchal tribe, there were those within the Tribe that desired it otherwise and so it divided into three smaller tribes. The Jezu’Tra remained true to the old ways that kept them in power, to take the females of neighbouring kingdoms as their slaves, while the males of the Tribe could take positions of power and rule. The Jezu’Ahk, opposite to the Tra, had females in positions of power, where they were no longer held under the oppression of their male counterparts and sought to develop themselves how they saw fit. Finally, there were the Jezu’Voh who did not care for the superiority in one gender or the other, believing both were capable and equal, working alongside each other in all things while seeking to maintain peace between the Tra and the Ahk as they warred against one another.
