Tir Bor La

Tír Bor La is a barbaric nation, consisting of splintered tribes who roams the ruins of a once great kingdom. It consists of 6 major khanates of varying size, who rarely have reason to work together. As such the nation lacks an actual leader and some consideres it a unconquered landmass.

## History

Before Trailblazers, it was a isolationist, prosperous nation which used great necromantic technology to create and uphold tens of thousands of undead servants. This was upheld due to the great ambient necromantic energy. As the nation faced scrutiny from neighbours due to their trust in necromancy, they become self-sufficient and built large walls to establish borders and prevent pre-emptive attacks.

But when Vecna disappeared from the world, the ambient energy was greatly reduced which caused all their machinations and servants to stop working. Panic spread, which lead to isolationism as the state army lost its great army. In time, this lead to villages becoming strongholds, until roaming riders found effective ways to attack and this way of living spread to most of the citizen of the nation.

## Culture

### Food

Common way of preserving food includes weight pressed meat, pickling and lard storage(from coocked wild game). The Boron khanate also uses milled grains and juice preservation(Commonly citrus).

## People

The people are distrustful by nature. Their distrust were reinforced when the nation fell, as the neighouring nations gave no assistance and refugees were given no options. Cidarn, Viiher and Duméri considered their fate just repercusion and turned away the refugees. The Notharian Empire would take refugees as slaves. And Veshi only accepted those that measured to their standards in a merit test, the rest were turned back. And since the que's were filled quickly, most were turned back at the border.

### Khanates

#### Firn Balcoth

The Firn Balcoth is a brutal khanate. They were born from the first people who gave in to desperation, and they represent losing oneself and giving in to basic instincts. They have many similarities to the lifestyle of orc tribes. While some of its people upholds old traditions from before the nation fell, most have given them up due to the strenious lifestyle they live.

#### Rebuilders

The rebuilders are idealists who belive that Tír Bor La can be rebuilt. They seek lost magical technology and texts to repurpose the technology to once again be of use. To other khanates, they are a desperate people obsessed with the past to the detriment of their own survival.

#### Feui rinn-o

The Feui rinn-o are roaming rangers who lives of natural resources. The first of their kind were druids and nature clerics who considered the nations downfall as a sign to regain a connection to the fey ways. They are the most knowledgeable of what areas have growing food and how to care for the earth. This makes them a common prey for other tribes, who seek either what has already been gathered or to capture guides. The Feui rinn-o themselves strive to avoid combat and strife, instead trying to outrun any opponent.

#### Dread umbrages

The Dread umbrages, or "land pirates", are a khanate who build enormous land ships which they live in, fight with and store their stolen loot in. Their firsts ships were repurposed from large land vehicles which were pulled by undead beings. This khanate are both raiders and merchants, by establishing trusted buyers and sellers who are saved from their attacks.

#### Bor La Consigners

The Bor La consigners are scavenging merchants, who search for lost technology and knowledge, food or anything that can be traded both with other khanates or outsiders by the walls. While they are not raiders, they are dangerously paranoid against potential threats and their trades are overseen by plenty of their guardian forces.

#### Boron

The Boron is the least well-organized khanate, as it consists of self-serving villages or cities who only work together as a last resort. These communities are incredibly well-defended, with thick walls and scouting guards to make them ready for assaults from other khanates. Few of these communities consists of the original inhabitants, instead being refugees from other khanates who used stolen goods to defend themselves. They are frequent targets of the Firn Balcoth and Dread umbrages, most commonly when a new leader wans to prove their worth by finally defeating these enclavements. While rarely succeeding completly, they always manage to shorten the lifespan of the community considerably.
