Darsh

Darsh is a region in Galben, Nova.

Darsh was once the name of the whole desert that the Thri-keen inhabited. They were nomadic and kept in small tribes, being the only race that could survive the desert and the dangerous monsters there. However, when the Yuan-ti came into power, they pushed back the Thri-keen and settled across the desert themselves, believing it to be sacred ground. The Thri-keen have been forced into a corner, pushed off their desert and now need to learn to live in other environments. They have eventually come together and formed armies that now pose a great threat to the Yuan-ti. Their resilience, combat prowess and unique language naturally give them the edge over the Yuan-ti, who normally rely on spreading corruption and charming enemies to gain the advantage in wars.

This region also includes the Ironlights, a quiet, self-sufficient dwarven kingdom. Their strong sense of justice has led to leaders empathising with the Thri-keen, and attempts to form an alliance. Their kingdom stretches through the mountain and they occasionally trade with the northern territories for more unusual food and wares.
