#domsk

Vladyslav Kocki was a Bratvian chief of the Baracki people, a Domski tribe known for the peculiar rituals of their soothsayers. These mystics claimed to see the full procession of gods, both long and short, upon the twisting paths of fate. They would enter a trance having been ritually brought halfway to death by drowning in a river. Those who survived described a great cavern full of gods and men, each connected by multitudes of silver threads like cobwebs.

Domsk

Domsk is divided into four regions, representing the ancient tribal alliances which came together to form the nation. Each is administered by a low king (or queen) who pay fealty to the High King at the Zemsk citadel.

Bratvia: Bratvia is the northernmost region and it is ruled by the Low Queen Gertruda II.

Sostran: Sostran lies to the east of Bratvia and is administered by Low King Jaropolk the Bent.

Kavolk: Kavolk lies to the south of Bratvia and Sostran and is ruled by the Low King Izlav of Sowic.

Domsk

Zemsk: An ancient city which flourished during the all but forgotten rule of the Rusak Imperium. Hewn into the granite mountain Sarba Nitu by pre-human hands it is a glorious edifice to a long-ago culture. Many structures have been added to the city in the previous six centuries, and what once stood as a lone, ink-black citadel is now a dizzying complex sometimes called Turtle (after the short god of the same name). Buildings in Zemsk are Stone and Brick. Gospodar Povodz: Povodz is the Gospodi capital and it once lay at the center of a great lake. This provided it with sufficient defense in early antiquity and although the lake was long ago drained for a Rusak Vodgazd (a kind of ancient, underground power chamber for skilled magic users) its swampy surrounds now offer it much the same thing. The people of Povodz are practical and hard working, preferring their own countrymen to the often-strange seeming foreigners of distant lands. They are suspicious of the Domsk and Krek, but willing to work together. Buildings in Povodz are Wood. Krek

Domsk, Gospodar, Krek

The river Zimska winds its way through across the frigid plains of Domsk, turning into the Tsemka in the southern Gospodar and splitting into the Winterwind in the eastern Krek. The great Korsk Ranges shield Domsk and Gospodar from the savage tribes to the West, the great Utna Pishtim towering above them all like a giant's fang. The Bitterbite Sea to Krek's east brings exotic goods from far flung lands, from the Kaiser's filth-worshipping Braunkirkheim and the blood stained isles of the Gawa Hegemony.

The three nations have only become united in the past two centuries, following generations of inter tribal conflicts. Each is home to diverse language and cultural groups who nevertheless share a common history and similar mythologies.

The Domski people worship an unending list of long and short gods who connect them to the land's primordial history. Chief among them are Utna Pishtim itself, Armadillo from who’s blood the Universe flowed, and Cicada who dealt Armadillo the deadly blow.

The Gospodar people pay respects to Grandmother Winter and Grandfather Mole and their divine offspring while weathering the advances of Krek's insidious Intruder Cult.
