Goh

Goh or more commonly the Land of Goh is a fictional kingdom in northern folklore. It is said to be the opposite of the Land of Cockaine.
== Description ==
Goh is described often as a land of thorn and thistle where nothing grows. Men till the soil with backhoes for measly crops and the main form of sustenance is the grizzle off of bones and discarded meat. The landscape is said to be made mostly of stone, with massive chasms that one can fall into from which wild animals lurk. Goh is said to be inhabited by every horrible beast of the world, such as hornets, lions, and serpents. The men of Goh are constantly warring and dying by the sword. Goh is said to be the land which sits at the tip of the fabled continent of Ayelaend said to be beyond the western continent. 
== Legacy ==
Goh was first mentioned in the spoken lyrical poems of the knights of the North around the 7th century AE. It was said that to enter into the paradise of Cockaine one must first travel through treacherous Goh. Many tales follow knights as they travel through Goh only to reach Cockaine and find it a land of idle and gluttony. Thus, Goh and Cockaine act as foils to one another. Goh is often referenced in art or speech, with many stories taking place there. It is sometimes compared in Skjol to the mythic land of Uld, a place where no seeds grow in Norduren mythology. Goh is said to represent the sin of wrath and corresponds to Kudd if Ayelaend is interpreted as allegorical Fayos.
