A popular game among Eyrians is Tarhg, a sport which developed from an ancient orc ritual. Tarhg is played in a circular dirt ring with 2 teams of five players. On either side of the arena are goals, usually represented by two tall poles. A heavy leather ball, which substitutes the severed head...

I think the easiest way to explain Mhur's name is to have it predate the current houses/government.

Unknown to the world, a sect of human sorcerers known as the Caretakers of Ur have, for ages untold, stood guard over the Vale of Ur. Within the vale, they believe, is the key to unbelievable power and it is their duty to make sure that power is never found. Caretaker legend tell that should the...

Looks like I got some reading to do to catch up, until then I'll post something neutral: One of the great river Kohoal’s major tributaries is the Zedak river. Before reaching the Kohoal, the Zedak river passes through a deep, narrow ravine known as the Vale of Ur. For as long as could be...

Besides the capital, Eyros has six major cities/towns. Each of these six cities is controlled by one of the 6 houses and are run much like independent city-states. One way to measure a house’s wealth and power is by how prosperous their city is, having a weak, faltering city is a severe...

It's up to other contributors to develop Mhur and figure out where it goes, I created it because it was about time Eyros had more than one city.

Located on the great river Kohoal is Mhur, the City of Iron, a bleak city covered in soot and smoke from numerous blazing smelters and forges. Mhur is the industrial heart of Eyros and from its docks flow heavy barges laden down with iron and weapons, delivering their valuable cargo throughout...

To the south of Eyros is the coastal Draakmar Fens, a dismal place of dense, tangling vegetation and deep saltwater marshes.

Speaking stonechant, the orc name for the dwarven language, is a crime in Eyros punishable by removal of the speaker’s tongue.

I changed the carca to the same weight as the zoth, that should make it somewhat easier to deal with.

Some may think this over complication, but I like giving regions unique currency instead of the tired old cp/sp/gp/pp assortment. Currency of Eyros Carca (carcas): A small rectangular iron coin which is used instead of copper. 1 carca weighs 4.5 grams and 100 carcas weighs 1 pound. Sepus...

Horses are uncommon in Eyros and considered weak and useless by the Eyrian orcs. Instead Eyrians ride longstrider lizards (deinonychus, dinosaur) which have been domesticated for riding and for drawing carts. Warstrider lizards are longstriders which are ridden into battle. While longstriders...

Much of the land that makes up present-day Eyros was once, thousands of years ago, an elven province. From the northern highlands an invading army of orc and human tribes marched through the fertile elven steppes where they sacked and destroyed the splendid elven cities. Eventually the...

The capital city of Eyrdeyn is well over three thousand years old making it the oldest settlement in Eyros still in use. Due to its long history and the general instability of Mt. Xark the city of Eyrdeyn has been destroyed and rebuilt numerous times, each time the city is rebuilt on the ruins...

* counts one, two, three, four...* I'm threatening to break the five contribution rule if there isn’t a contribution soon.

Piracy has become the backbone of halfling society, without the plunder obtained from raids along the coastlines of Eyros the halflings in their cities of floating flotsam could not survive. The most notorious of the halfling pirate gangs is the Bloodsong Buccaneers, led by the pirate-bard...
