Blackwarg was located in the central region of the Wildlands. It was a low desert land that was notorious because of its unique landscape and weather patterns.

The land throughout the Blackwarg was roughly 800 feet below sea level, which stretched for hundreds of miles at a time. The ground and the entire landscape rolled out as a single, mostly uniform, coal black color as far as the eye could see in all directions. It had an extremely dry climate with very little vegetation except for some desert ground cover and an unusual species of desert fern plant that was unique to the area, called, Red Fernius. The climate was unusual in that thunder, lightning and wind occur regularly, however, it rarely rained. The landscape of Blackwarg was often referred to as “a hellscape”, “nightmarish”,  and is known by some as, “the black hole.”

Technically, Blackwarg was not a nation state, it was a climate region.

Broodkin

Broodkin are an esoteric race of humanoids who look the same as humans but had slightly pointed ears and very dark, black skin and blue, purple or more rarely, red eyes.

While most of these creatures were not outright evil, in terms of their beliefs and temperament, they were considered the darkest race in all of Eos. Some were evil, however, and those evil Broodkin typically operated independently rather than as groups. That said, the evil broodkin pushed the boundaries of evil into the realm of profound darkness, depravity and even insanity.

Cronoss the Protector

Cronoss was a powerful and influential Broodkin sorcerer. He traveled with a cabal of Broodkin and beasts across the dark wasted lands of Blackwarg and eastern Hauth to convene with the Broodkin camps. He was seen as a peace-keeper, however, he was also fearless and unafraid of battle. He would often provide protection to Broodkin whenever conflict arose.

Broodkin Tent Camps

In a desolate expanse of black sand, the esoteric Broodkin thrived as outcasts from mainstream society. Shunned for their unconventional beliefs and practices, they created vast camps, each composed of thousands of intricately designed tents, forming a mosaic of color hides against the stark, blackened landscape. The tents, adorned with symbols of protection and pagan worship, served as both homes and sacred spaces for rituals.

The Broodkin were deeply connected to the rhythms of the dark desert, believing it to be a living entity that held ancient wisdom. Their culture revolved around storytelling, music, and dance, with gatherings often igniting into vibrant celebrations under the moonlight. They practiced unique forms of witchcraft and herbal magic, drawing on the desert’s sparse resources to heal and guide.

It was within these tens camps where the Broodkin developed a rich oral tradition, sharing tales of their ancestors and the cosmos. Over time, they became both feared and revered by those who dared to approach their borders, embodying the duality of darkness and light. Their existence served as a testament to resilience and the profound connection between a people and their land, shrouded in mystery and allure.
