The History of the Forbidden Isles

During this time; after the collapse of Olm as a political entity, the ancient Zcarothian kingdom reasserted itself under revanchist, and conquered much of central Tzunar north of the Scythe peninsula. Zcaroth under its infamous warrior queens was not just militarily successful but came to innovate with a number of scientific and technological developments, such as the repeating crossbows which were adopted, or the use of poppyseeds as a form of painkiller in medicine. Culturally, Zcaroth reached its zenith around this time as well. However, corruption and incompetence spelled the end of this age, and vulnerability lead to a long and costly invasion by the Phurzic Dominion in the west. As a result, the rocky lands of Zcaroth were devastated and many died. Zcaroth still stands proud, but as a shadow of what it once was.
