Slen
The Theocracy of Slen (population unknown) began as
a church of the Ministry of Misery on the slopes of the
Deshada Mountains. The temple, Kako-gyr, was founded
by a tribe of evil Dejy barbarians. The Dejy tribe reveled in
the revolting rituals of their foul god and raided other tribes
to capture sacrificial victims. They tortured and cruelly slew
the strongest captured warriors in the name of the
Flaymaster.
Soon the Slen gained an ominous reputation; the
fearless warriors of Slen could defy the most grueling cold
and the most painful of tortures. Eventually, led by the
sadistic Order of Agony, the tribe conquered and enslaved
the surrounding Fhokki clans. The men were taken to
Kako-gyr (now the capital) and tortured for months while
the women were given the Rite of Slen and inducted into
the tribe.
Several large clans of Fhokki barbarians invaded Slen
in 332 F.C. (476 LR.) After an extremely bloody and
gruesome struggle, die Theocracy defeated the assault and
crippled the Fhokki army. Following a two-day chase and
struggle, the Slen surrounded and captured the Fhokki.
The Fhokki were incorporated into the Dejy tribe and for
that reason, there is a significant amount of Fhokki blood
among the Slennish people.
Grand Theocrat Toth Senkan keeps a small but formidable
army of depraved and fearless lunatics. They
constantly battle with Shynabyth for control of the
northern Gadra Uplands. Little else is known about the
Theocracy because few travelers willingly enter the frozen
land and fewer still ever leave.
