Qalmaz
Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
Qalmaz is a collection of tribes united in the region of Afaq. The Region faces instablity as its neighbors are set on claiming the rich territories.
Structure
Qalmaz is led by a council of Warlords, each representing different branches of the nation’s military or trade sectors. These Warlords are elite leaders who uphold military traditions while overseeing different aspects of Qalmaz, including diplomacy, crafting, and elemental exploitation. The Warlords are advised by powerful shamans who commune with the elemental forces and guide the nation's religious and magical practices.
Culture
The people of Qalmaz are heavily militaristic, driven by a blend of Buqmati nomadic lifestyle and strict hobgoblin discipline. Both hobgoblins and bugbears are skilled in warcraft, alchemy, mining, and crafting. Their deep connection to the Seyrithar’s Vein gives them access to powerful elemental forces, allowing them to manipulate earth and fire in unique ways, especially in battle and trade.
History
Once known as Israk,the region was shaped by the victorious exploits of Sultan Azaerim, who united the fractured tribes of the Zilatan Mountains under the banner of the Iron Sand Legion. The Iron Sand Legion was forged in battle and by the strength of the sandstorms that swept through the land. This victory was made possible with the discovery of the Onyx Road, a network of elemental passages connecting Qalmaz to the Plane of Earth, hidden within the dark vaults beneath the Obsidian Citadel.
Later on, they became known as Qalmaz after a coup was initiated and destablized the region.
Foreign Relations
The relationship with Buqmat is one of mutual respect, as both nations share military ties and trade agreements. However, Qalmaz constantly seeks to expand its influence in the region by negotiating with neighboring powers and forging alliances. Its proximity to Buqmat, the elemental powers of the Seyrithar’s Vein, and its growing industrial prowess make Qalmaz a rising force in the region.
Trade & Transport
Qalmaz thrives on its mining industries, extracting precious ores and gems from the rich veins of the Seyrithar’s Vein. These resources flow through trade routes connecting with Buqmat, ensuring the nation’s rapid economic growth. The hobgoblins and bugbears work in a strict military-like environment where craftsmanship is treated as a discipline akin to combat training.
