The Samag Clan's
Cities
Here we will show the maps of the kingdoms, duchies and lands throughout each of the ages.The Last Fang
A city said to be owned by the Hard Claws Clan, the city is said to be mostly built for soldiers and worshippers of the oath. The city is said to be almost the reverse of Starhold, it is quiet, cold, and uninviting. The city finds itself as the largest iron producer in the Samag Clans. And is noted as having multiple streets filled with nothing but tool, armor, and weapon smiths all practicing there craft throughout the day. One would not be hard pressed to find a sword within the city for coppers on the gold, however a good salad or steak or even a drink would cost you a dragons horde. And many would look onto you as if you had stolen from there own mouths. The city shows even more then the others the true lack of food that the goyang had within the first age. The only true salvationw as to join one of the many oath orders within the city that had managed to dress there own temples in grandeur. Feasting and drinking every night, those who watched on found themselves jealous until the oath takers would sally out to take down a purple worm.Bright Gate
Said to be the city owned by the clan of Bright Fang, it is noted for its large solarium metal statues of Bong the clan leader of Bright Fang holding up the heads of non descript goyang. Bright Gate is said to be the city that glows in the mountains, as the cities large walls of solarium are said to soak in the sun all summer and glow throughout the dark winter. Though not as warm as Mana's Grove, Bright Gate has been noted for having large hotsprings that were carved from the mountain itself, thus allowing for it to war in the hottest of summers. This has given rise to the sun forges of Bright Gate, said to be the only way to smelt the solarium without creating mass amounts of smoke for the gloom or storm jotun raiding parties to find. The city is said to sport many warriors who dip there fangs in the metal the city is so famous for. By doing so, the metal hardens to the teeth and makes them sharper and glow in the night sky. Uniquely, the metal also was noted to have health properties of a minor healing potion when water was ran over the metal. Thus giving many of the warriors within the city an artificial caffeine like health buzz from drinking the water within.Starhold
A city said to be owned by the clan Starred Stripe, the city is said to sport a large star in the center made of pure platinum and silver. The city itself is said to practice the ancient martial arts that they had learned from a few passing Pakob. However, the few monastaries that have grown within the city are more focused around merchant duties and the growth of profits within the temples businesses. The city is ran almost like a meritocracy but instead through the monastaries themselves, each practicing a unique form of martial arts similar to the Pakob, but in many cases far less brutal and more focused on the disabling and capturing of others. The city sprouts a total of thirteen temples that each have there own leaders, cultures, and arts within. The rest of the city is filled with jewlers, magic item smiths, and young apprentices from the Maejing clan who are there to buy spell components.Mana's Grove
The city owned by clan Maejing, it is noted as being within and around the open chasm of a large gaping mountain. Many believe the city was a super volcano of sorts that would later erupt at the end of the first age. However, no known records were ever found to prove this. The city itself was rich with death ore, and allowed for the water within the mountain to become enriched with it as well. This allowed the Maejing clan to gain there affinity to magic at the time and grow far more powerful then even there northern brethren. Known as the city of a thousand fountains, the city is truly blessed within the desert for its large oasis beneath the mountain. The city sits within the mouth of the open mountain, with the few hotsprings at the center of the city allowing even the harshest winters to be endured with ease. The city itself is said to stay naturally cool in the summer due to the shade of the mountain, and warm in the winters due to the volcanoic hotsprings that seem to only become active the colder it gets above ground. The city is noted for its large crystal of death ore in the shapes of tree sprouting all throughout. With harvesters found traversing the city in sectors to collect as the magical ore grows each day. With fountains around each corner, and the many death ore trees sprouting about, the city almost seems to light up a bright blue at night, giving it a faint glow even from far above the sky. Giving it the nickname in draconic of "The Sapphire of the Desert".Storm Ash Port
A city noted for its massive port with a large focus on its wood industry. The were creatures amongst the goyang seem to make up the majority of the city, causing it to take on a similar appearance to the other goyang cities. However, with many races banished there were striken kin to the city, Storm Ash Port can be noted for its large population of vast mixtres of creatures. From monsters to niwarves, all who are striken seem drawn to the great city. Thus a subculture of beast fanatics has been seen to pop up in the form of a cult like religion. Many have noted Simarium “The Ruthless” to have adopted some of there practices with the usage of ritualistic were cursing on folks. However, without its underbelly, the city from the outside merchants appearance is noted for its lovely wood crafting. Buildings of vast wood carvings designed to hold cities together through intricute locking mechanisims, the city is believed to be one of the great wonders of the world in engineering. With deep alleys going all throughout the city, many have noted this city as the grandest rogue republic of the world. With each street owned by another engineering master or wood working rogue guild.Nobility
Here we shall discuss notable noble houses through the time periods.Clan Starred Stripe
SIGIL
A platinum star with a silver stripe going through the center on a grey iron colored background. The sigil is said to represent the sparkling platinum mines deep within the lands of the starred stripe.HEAD RULER
Chin-Hwa "Platinum Paws" of clan Starred Stripe was said to be an extremely wide goyang who was similar to a tigar with bright purple eyes and a tail as thick as a tree. Having spent most of his life ruling, the elder of the clan leaders is noted as being cunning and easy to insult. Chin-Hwa should not be underestimated as he has been noted as the lead finance behind the Samag Clans and the main reason for Mana's Grove getting a port that allowed for even higher volumes of trade. Chin-Hwa is noted as having a strange interest in the young Ja Terecitas "The Halfbreed" of clan Maejing. However, as he is well respected as a Janglo, few are willing to question the strange behavior of the old goyang. He is noted as having managed to fend off many of the other clans in his territory in single combat himself. Having gained him the nickname "Platinum Paws" for his strange fighting style, using his massive body to move opponents through a combination of quick hits, many have found themselves the victim to the flashing platinum dipped claws of the elder leader.NOTABLE ITEMS
The First Coin Said to be an item that Chin-Hwa personally oversaw, The First Coin is noted as having a strange marking of a scale on both sides. The scales seem to move as the user weighs there ki against another. If the attuned of this item has more ki then the one who catches it, the coin forces the one with less ki to obey the other no matter the decision.FOUNDING
The clan Starred Stripe is said to have been founded at the beginning through a collection of wealthy goyang who had gathered under there merchant businesses leader. Founding a clan, the group would get to work building a large city and quickly cracking down on weaker clans through coin laundering and loan sharking. The group would be noted similar to an organization over a family, but as the years went on the groups would intermarry eventually becoming a single family.Clan Hard Claws
SIGIL
A yellow goyang on a white background tearing at the background with a grey claw and the tears bleeding a deep red color.HEAD RULER
Chul "Firm Hand" of clan Hard Claws was noted as another young clan leader similar to Terecitas "The Halfbreed" of clan Maejing. The two had in fact grown up together, with Chul having had been forced to leave her homeland with her family when her father was killed in combat by another clan. After Terecitas "The Halfbreed" would go on to conquer the goyang, it is said that Chul would take a small force of her own and return to the city of The Last Fang ahead of Terectias. As Chul entered the city she was believed to have fought her way through with the use of divine magic and tear asunder the entirety of the clan who had taken her fathers life. She would bend the knee to Terecitas in exchange for her new control of the city The Last Fang. And its rich iron mines that allowed the clan to gain its name.NOTABLE ITEMS
Fathers Revenge A bastard sword said to have been blessed by a dying demi god, the item is said to be extremely cursed with whomever wields it to spend there life so long as they are attuned losing every blood related member of there family to horrific deaths. All of which the attuned will witness as the identify was said to state. However, in exchange the item is given to the strongest of a clan and once bonded with the wielder they become a being of divine power. And so long as the oath they give to Father's Revenge stays true, the wielder will continue to be blessed with divine power.FOUNDING
Said to have been founded by a lycanthrope originally, many believed Chul's father to have been secretly a member of the Brachyurus lycanthropes resistance who had attempted to worm there way into the samag clans lands. Many still believe in the first age that the clan was to naturally animal like comapred to the more humanoid goyang. Even Chul with her great strength hidden beneath plate that no other member of her clan could wield has given large suspicion to the local clans.Clan Bright Fang
SIGIL
Charcoal black fangs on a grey background with a bright yellow orb that appears as the sun behind the fangs as if being devoured. They say this is the representation of the house melting the solarium onto there warriors fangs to prove there ability.HEAD RULER
Bong "The Phoenix" of clan Bright Fang is said to be a large rakshasa with lion like features. His dark mane is said to glimmer when light hits it as he puts single strands of gold within it to shine at all times. Pretentious, stubborn and egotistical are the most often words used to describe the large man. However in battle he is said to be as strong as the feral brachyurus, even having managed to hold off ten of them by himself within the pass while his troops rushed to assist. There is also the rumor that while in battle he managed to slay a member of the house Kllozin who had attempted to use the brachyurus as a vanguard for a raid.NOTABLE ITEMS
Last Light A greathelm that is said to glow with a light spell at all times though only visible in darkness. The item is said to allow the user to see through darkness magical or otherwise, and makes the immune to any mental effects or spells. This effect is believed to cause the curse on the attuned that the user is always bravest in battle and will never back down even from the greatest challenge.FOUNDING
Founded by Bong after his willingness to cut down the previous leader of the region when the Maejing came to conquer. After offering a deal of service in exchange for power it is said that Bong would charge into the city of Bright Gate and like a flaming phoenix after having been set on fire immediately the great goyang charged. Many noted that the battle lasted mere seconds and once the city fell quiet, Bong would immerge with several heads of the previous clans leaders.Clan Maejing (Ruling Clan)
SIGIL
A blue tree on a yellow background. The tree is said to represent the death ore veins within the mountain that the strange mushroom trees grow off of.HEAD RULER
Terecitas "The Halfbreed" of clan Maejing is said to have taken over the clan after her mother died in childbirth. Rumors have followed the young ruler most of her life as her mother never took a partner. However, as many had noted that the elven slave taken from a group of roaming clans had gone missing after Terecitas's mother had passed. With her short stature but extreme affinitiy to magic and its understanding, is it truly a wonder how Terecitas through force of magic and the use of her clans natural ability to use death ore in there day to day lives. The clan of Maejing would go on to conquer each and every clan surrounding them in a blitz of battles throughout the region. Though it is noted that half of the clans noted as those who were more feral then the those conquered, would hold out against Terecitas and her attempt to unite the goyang. Though few know what drove her to such a degree of conquest, many believe the young mage has realized the value of the minerals beneath her lands and with minor skirmishes over drawnout wars, Terecitas has come out one of the few stronger leaders of the First Age.NOTABLE ITEMS
Book of the Second Dragon Said to be an item that would write the future within its pages but in a strange riddle. Those of the clan Maejing are said to be the only ones capable of deciphering it and even then to only a certain degree.FOUNDING
Officially founded by Terra of clan Maejing, the grandmother of Terecitas "The Halfbreed". The clan would found through the conquest of the few other goyang willing to travel so far south. As many noted the clan for its bloodthirsty rituals and thirst for magic in all its capacities. This want for knowledge would see the death of Terra "The Forgotten" as she would not be remembered as, when she was taken by her slaves and sacrificed to a strange protofiend in exchange for the slaves freedom. The house historically had been known for having the great power of clairvoyance through there items, but the unfortunate luck of always dying to there own want for power.Military

Here we shall find how the coins look, what materials they are made of, and what the value of the coins are on the overall market. DIAMOND CROWNS The first coin that replaced the common platinum that the dragons used for its shininess. Giants though, are not dragons, thus the more common material of liquid diamonds would be harvested from the cores of the volcanoes in the heart of the magma as it was believed. This material would be farmed to make coins and other magical items. RUBY VOLCANOS Believed to be equivalent to the gold piece commonly used by the lesser nations including dragons. Thus the Jotun-Modr pioneered the coin in the shape of their homeland to be used by those sworn to them. These simple coins are individually 5cm by 5cm like the other coins, however it is clear and seems to sparkle from its craftsmanship only possible by the Jotun-Modr who individually made each coin. SAPPHIRE HILLS Sapphire hills were thinner coins due to there higher rarity, though most giants valued sapphires less then rubies and only slightly more then emeralds. Thus most recognized this simple hill drawn with sheep grazing into the individual sapphires as a silver coin. EMERALD PLAINS Lastly and most common in the Jotun-Modr volcanos were emeralds. As the material was farmed simply from their individual Rok-heap herds. Thus simple grass would be carved into the coins as apprentices practiced there arts on the coins.Trade Goods

Military
First Age
Terecitas "The Halfbreed" of clan Maejing
Noted as having an army of around 400 Geul Maejig, 500 Maejig, 3,000 warriors, 100 paladins, and 1,000 slaves that can be mobilizedTechnological Level
Technology periods
Here we shall discuss the main technological discoveries by this kingdom.The Art of Maejig Ingkeu
A form of magic that was recently discovered though has been known to the Goyang since their founding as a race. The process is simple in understanding but in practice is said to be one of the more dangerous arts. Firstly, one must create a magic conductive ink through the melting and burning of magical scrolls. At which point then the ashes are mixed with water and mesna to create the black ink itself. From here, the user must use a special bone tool from the rare Mountain Blue Back Apes. This bone then allows the user to channel their own magic, into the ink at a very specific strength. At which point they can begin to mark both the clan sigil which gives them the ability to recognize anyone of their clan via a light that only other members can see. This practice is also known for creating a spell slot of sorts in which a marking of the tattoo with the spell itself having been written on the scroll during the burning and melting portion. However, what should be noted about this amazing form of magical storage and recognition. Is that the lack of control by the artist on their ability to control the flow of magic. Can actually extremely change the outcomes, in some rare cases even cause the victim to blow up from too much magic being forced into the body. Or in other cases, the magic is not strong enough and will blow up on the body. A good example of this was when a Goyang monk with the fireball tattoo on his hand was unfortunately made too weak to project off the hand. Thus causing the Goyang in question to lose his hand to extreme burning and explosion from the fireball.Foreign Relations
Currently in the first age at war with The Brachyurus Lycanthropes
Agriculture & Industry
Vast fields of Stone Trees can be found throughout the mountains. Many of the minor clans fighting off the lycanthropes who had similarly tried to capitalize on the strong tree.
Einkorn was also noted as the main vegetable eaten amongst the clans, though rarely found amongst commoners, those of the elite were said to cook it in many different ways to make the plant taste far grander then it gave on.
Trade & Transport
Trade Goods
Here you shall find the trade goods this race has on offer in the nations they inhabit.Coal
Noted in the first age for being the biggest suppliers of coal in the world. The Samag clans would be in constant skirmishes with the lycanthropes of the west for the large coal deposits beneath the mountains seperating the two nations.Monster Hunters
Noted as a nation of monster hunters after the constant battles throughout the wide desert that goes unclaimed by any clan. The Goyang are an adept people who are quite good at hunting down, tracking, studying and finally poisoning there prey. Offering there services at a premium, many nations have found there services as both monster hunters and exterminators to be quite useful.Power through Arcane

Legislative Body
Janglo (Elder)
Janglo or as they are known in common as elders. Are traditionally the leaders of each of the individual clans that reside inside the Goyang lands. To gain this title, one must have survived a conflict with either another clan or a war with another nation. This means that mercenaries are a common job for many Goyang who wish to one day become Janglo. Each Janglo has final say over his clan, and thus does not have to answer to the Ja or any other group for that matter. However, this does come at a cost, as the Janglo do not get any support from a Ja if they refuse to back them or answer the call when requested. It is also to be noted that the Janglo are the only members that can give clan tattoos to their members. And thus the recognized sigil is only given when recognized by the Janglo.Ja (Ruler)
Those who are born to rule are said to be marked with the stripes of victory and the size to match. Every year a new Ja can be chosen if the bloodline has stopped. This means that if a Ja dies prior to giving an heir to the nation. The next Ja will be picked via an extremely brutal hunting free for all that the Janglo will oversee. However, it is to be noted that a Ja can never be overthrown once given the markings of the king. As it is said that this magical tattoo that is placed on their skin, gives them the ability to command all Goyang through a forced pressure of the tattoo itself on all those with clan tattoos.Eomeoni (Mother)
A term given to any female who has given birth to children within the clan. As every mother in the individual clans takes care of the young as a whole. The concept of the individual family unit as the vedan define it does not apply to the Goyang. This is due to an individual Eomeoni being able to give birth to up to eight children at a time and thus to avoid the individual eomeoni getting overwhelmed the entire clan comes together to raise the children.Geul Maejig (Grand Mage)
A term used for the most decorated militarily magic casters. This term is used to define the three magic casters that stand above all others in the nation. And thus serve only the king and his royal family. However each of the Geul Maejig are allowed to roam as they see fit and set up shop anywhere in the world so long as they can return to the royal family within a day. They are also granted unlimited funding and are expected to teach the newest generation of magic casters.Seongeoin (Electors)
The Seongeoin are a selected group of thirteen clans that serve under the Ja directly. Upon the ten year marking prior to the king's death. The Seongeoin are gathered from all across the country to then submit their candidates for the next kingship. Each gets a vote, and each can vote for any single person to be elected as Ja. This system was designed after the original government of the Vedan back when the Goyang and Vedan fought. Many survivors traveled through the lands after the age of chaos and would come to appreciate how the vedan government worked on an electoral selection process.Saja (Lion)
The term is granted to the successor of the current living king and the one chosen by the Seongeoin. This title is only granted to the next king while the current king is alive. And serves to note for instructors in the capital to make the education of the Saja and his classmates far harder than the normal curriculum. It is also considered one of the greatest honors to be assigned in the same class as the Saja. As many Goyang believe this means you are destined for greater things.
