Common Knowledge
Uruk is an isle located in the northwestern shores of the nation of Kanum Kotan. Though most of the island has sunk during the Great Flood, it holds a very important military base. It is east of the Angul-Law continent.
Regional Features
Kili is an important military base for the Alukhais, as Angul-Law is located across the water from it. Though at peace, the Alukhais prefer to keep a high alert. Despite the fact that the Alukhai aren't very well known to be great sea fighters, Kili homes a fleet of powerful military ships that can hold off battle long enough for reinforcements to arrive, or to drive the battle towards land, where the army of Kanum Kotan is most able. The Khan of this area prefers to recruit half-orc soldiers, in hopes that what the small army lacks in manpower can be masked over with the overwhelming presence of a demon's offspring.
Sanduraghul is the main port for Uruk, an island located off the shores of Kanum Kotan, and is known to be the city of blacksmiths. Because Uruk is such a highly guarded island, the Alukhais in Sanduraghul have perfected the arts in sword-making in hopes to heighten the defense of their people. Every year they would supply enough weapons for every able-bodied Alukhai, and ship them to Bukugeg, another of Kanum Kotan's main ports. Like Kili, it is mostly home to half-orcs, but a large variety of other races coexist here as well.

The story goes on that the elders had made an agreement with the demons in order to mantain order, and would sacrifice three females every month to satiate their hunger and lust.
