Assarion

The mysterious and generally unknown nation of Assarion is built of the subtropical rainforest and swamps found in the lowland break between Merax and the central nations. Conflicting and unclear stories come out of the land; and the lack of roads and permanent trails through the marshy swamps interferes with thorough exploration. What is clear is this land is home to goblinoids, specifically hobgoblins and bugbears with lesser species perhaps among them as well. Tales are told of towering and vast stone pyramids, blood magic, obscene public rituals, and exotic armaments that defy traditional conventions.
