The Blacklands

Past the City of Spires bordering Brightscar exist the Blacklands. Populated by a majority of Orcs, mutants and less desirables. Small Omme settlements are known to exist in the Blacklands but are usually cleverly disguised to survive the harsh environment

Orcs
The innate danger and violent creatures that make the Blacklands their home draws Orcs from all over Ohgal-Vhymn.

Vhymn Sand
In the blacklands patches of Vhymn sand of varying colors. these are sought out by all types of magic users typically orc shamans and witches. Settlements typically spring up around patches of Vhymn Sand.

Vapors
the swamps of the Blacklands have numerous poisonous funguses, bacteria and toxic chemical dumps that lead to strange vapors. These can cause a variety of effects from euphoria to mindless homicidal rage to death.

The Mire
Magicians of the Blacklands have access to a mental state called the Mire where they let a darkness consume them and flow out of them as powerful magical effects. Using the Mire taxes the body and there are sayings "There are no old Mire Wielders for a reason." Mire Wielders deal with necormancy, can create Black Vhymn and some say when they die come back as a variety of undead monsters including Mire Liches.

Mire LIches
Mire Wielders that die occasionally return as a Mire Lich. Mire Liches exist in the mire and the real world at the same time spewing poisonous vapor from their orifices and wounds. They are also something of Vhymn Vampires and are drawn to wielders.
