Tavts

Tavts is the name of the peninsula, mountain, culture group, and confederation of warlords south of Deja, populated mainly by Orcs and Minotaur. It is temperate to semi-tropical in the forested northern region and increasingly cold around Tavts Mountain.
The area around the cities of Tavts, Hagoffen, and Edem are, after a century and a half of war, scarred and burnt over. In contrast, Kosholm and the surrounding areas are no less culturally Tavti but basically unaffected by the power struggles in the south, although the skin ash is an increasing concern. This leaves Burakh, formerly an unimportant backwater, the only Tavti city not actively in crisis, for now.
In the Ante Convulsive era Tavts was renowned globally for its artisans, particular the Orcish golem crafters. While obviously unable to step out of Deja's cultural shadow entirely, Tavti contributions to art, philosophy, and literature were celebrated across Creation. The Ə era has not been as kind, and old Tavti kingdoms
