Hadash

Carcosian temple shifted to Hadash

Geographical position

> "The more the lands of Hadash merge with the plane of Carcosia the less clear it becomes of the country's origins. It seems the structures of both lands were crafted by the same hands."

Hadash is a volcanic coastal nation located on the island of Dahlvier. The current ruler of the country is King Aseil however he has gone missing recently. The capital city of Hadash is Zanfyr however due to recent events it is nearly abandoned. Hadash has been struck by calamity so great that it has completely shattered their civilization. The plane of Carcosia is overlapping Alterus at Hadash and is causing things to disappear suddenly and alien structures and monsters to manifest out of nowhere. To top it off with such a high concentration of dark magic people have started to get sick and die.

## History

Hadash was inhabited by a precursor race to the Yuan-ti during the Era of Ancients however details about them have been lost to history aside from their architecture seen in massive temples across the country. During the Era of Beasts the Kingdom of Hadash joined The Eastern Alliance to protect the free world from the ever growing Empire of Duvan’ku. However due to The Incursion the Empire of Duvan’ku collapsed under its own weight and the High King Ovair leader of the Eastern Alliance went mad with power before being imprisoned by the Immortal Zyan. During the Era of Dreams the Kingdom of Hadash discovered the abandoned plane of Carcosia and seeing the hostile wildlife decided to send people are magical artifacts deemed too dangerous into exile on this plane. Unbeknownst to them the exiles sent to Carcosia had been organized and civilized by the Kingdom of Dolthur growing the plane into something resembling a nation. Decades later Carcosia under the rule of the belligerent king Cade invaded Hadash weakening the planar divide between Carcosia and Alterus causing the land inbetween to get shuffled and confused. This massive planar rift served as a portal for Carcosian monsters to attack Hadash but also all the ambient dark magic has been causing people to get sick and die.

## Culture

    The people of Hadash are scattered living without rulership too afraid to band together, threatened by the terrifying force of King Cade knowing he will eagerly kill them all if discovered. The landscape of Hadash is filled with patrols of Carcosian monsters and wandering natives driven to madness by the ambient dark energies brought forth by the dimensional rift that perpetuates the entire kingdom.

Cade is a being of spite who wished for revenge on the Kingdom of Hadash from the start but has met much opposition in gaining the power he needed to invade. Every time Cade found himself at a crossroads he doubled down and by the time he became king he was a monster who reaffirmed his need for revenge again and again and grew to hate Hadash. Cade originally intended to conquer Hadash but in his rage ravaged and destroyed the entire kingdom.

    Hadash has become quite the spot for aspiring adventurers. There are plenty of people to save and evil monsters that need killing. Many of the natives have risen to the challenge themselves as well as assist travelers giving them the locations of the ancient ruins that seem to predate the kingdom itself.
