The Pomarj

Overview

"Officially" called the Poor March, The Pomarj as it is known by the populace is a large peninsula located in the Flaness. It was well known to be overrun by humanoid tribes, until the Griffins Guild founded Obsidian Bay. Now the forces of Obsidian Bay fight off the advances of the Orcish Empire.
