Shumil

Shumil
Whereas the colonization of the Eagle Nations was an everyman- for-himself affair, with warriors claiming whatever regions of the Scarred Land they could take, the colonization of Shumil was far more orderly. Shumil was originally almost as inhospitable as the rest of the Horned Reaches. However, when colonists from Kahoor first arrived, they brought their distinctive irrigation and plateau cultivation methods with them, which quickly brought flourishing crops to the region. Shumil remains a satellite of the Kingdom of Kahoor, supplying that country with exotic spices and silks.



Its culture is much like that of Kahoor but without so much of the old world hierarchy. Shumil is a land of merchants, laborers and tradesmen, not of lords and serfs. Natives of Shumil are usually humorous, sarcastic and enterprising, quick to see the potential profit in any undertaking.
