The Land of Durz
Durz is a military land; they have to be, as they border on the Wastelands. The Wastelands is home to wandering bands of ferocious orcs, and quite often these orcs will invade Durz, forcing the king to repel their attacks.
Structure
The land of Durz is ruled by a king or queen, and their court, who advise them. Other important figures in Durz are general of the army, and any high-standing military figure, such as a colonel or major. THe High Priest of the land is also fairly important, although not so much as the General of the Army.
Public Agenda
The ruler of Durz hopes to drive the orcs out of their kingdom forever, and wishes to wipe out the orc leaders so that they may never again interfere or invade with or in Durz.
Assets
Durz has a very large army, and has a great stockpile of weapons. Swords, axes, daggers, bows, arrows, shields, even horses are in great abundance in Durz. They have less gold than the neighbouring kingdoms, however, as the invading orcs forced them to spend their gold on their military. Thus they are required to trade their marvelous weapons for jewels and money, so that they may maintain their kingdom at a good standard.
History
Durz was originally founded by a small band of wandering adventurers, ranging from all species. Gnomes, dwarves, elves, humans, halflings, even half-orcs once founded Durz. They worked together to build a sustainable city, now called Lavinia, and after a while the kingdowm was full of people. However, they had to repel the orcs even in their earliest history. The Wastelands are a brutal place, and orcs wishing to find an easier life often attack Durz. For this reason, the ruler of Durz has always needed to maintain the military, otherwise the country would fall to orcs. Due to this, Durz has a marvelous military, both large in size and extremely well trained. All the warriors of Durz have been trained in hand-to-hand combat, in archery, horseback, and even unarmed fighting. A few small divisions specialize in one of the above areas of fighting, so there is a division for monks (unarmed fighters), warriors, cavalry and knights, and archers.
