Khravi Zhes

The powerful orc and goblin warlords of this region battle one another for control of Khravi Zhes, Sycharian orcish for mighty stone.  

Dotted with iron and copper mines hidden in canyons and plateaus, the Khravi Zhes is loose collection of warlords and rival clans of orcs and goblins. With little connection to the rest of Sycharia beyond trade through the Targum Reach and the leonin clans of Olym, the Khravi Zhes has fallen into disarray over the last three centuries. At one time, a noble council of warlords met annually to negotiate trade with one another.  In those times, the orcs united in their near constant battle to stem the tide of demons flowing out of the Sorrowsand and Tural Mountains.  However,  the Massacre at White Claw occurred in 1488 AF and the entire White Claw clan was decimated by the Red Flare and their goblin allies. Relations between the orc communities fell apart after this event isolating the great bastion of Parthesh, Drekhma, and Nor Badan.  Now smaller villages and communities are often torn between the Red Flare and White Claw skirmishes.  Dark forces of Evernigh now grow in power along with dark fey. 

The Penitent of Rallumar in Parthesh are neutral in the conflict between the White Claw and the Red Flare.  Both of the groups in the Khravi Zhes are attempting to build relations with the Leonin Clans in hopes of gaining the support of Olym for trade with the south and the Grey Ax pirates in the Spine Islands.
