Thybaj
The country of Thybaj (population 400,000) lies east
ofTharggy in the Jendasha and Jorakk River basin. A tribe
of Dejy nomads who found the Fertile soil ideal for grazing
livestock and growing crops originally settled Thybaj. After
repelling a wave of Fhokki barbarians, the Thybaj nation
lived in relative peace and isolation. The people of Thybaj
befriended the elves and halflings of the Fyban Forest and
the dwarves and gnomes of the Vrykarr Mountains. The
beneficial effects of this were unilaterally evidenced during
the Years of Fear, a three-year period of raids by giants and
humanoids all along the Vrykarrs and the Jenth Ridges.
Today, a sole monarch, the Shajody or chieftain, rules
Thybaj. The position of Shajody is not a hereditary seat;
rather, the current Shajody appoints a new Shajody,
hopefully before retirement or death of the present chieftain.
To insure against a patriarchal system, the new and
old Shajody cannot be from the same family. The Shajody's
duties include solving disputes, the control and monitoring
of trade, dealing with all foreign and domestic matters,
training and controlling the military and handling all
governmental matters. The current Shajody is Dakary IE.
It has become traditional (and necessary) for the
Shajody to appoint trusted friends, Dothoki, to handle
these affairs. The Shajody merely oversees the work of his
appointees. There are hundreds of Dothoki who control all
aspects of the government and the judicial system.
Although the position of Dothoki is one of prestige, it is an
exceedingly difficult and often thankless job as the Shajody
claims all of the glory and none of the failures.
The Thybaj basin is an area ideal for agriculture and
grazing. The plump sheep and cattle, unfortunately, have a
tendency to attract giants and humanoids from the upper
Vrykarrs. Thybaj is also rich in mineral wealth. Thus,
many miners from the Vrykarrs call Thybaj home.
Demi-humans are prevalent in Thybaj, as is religious
diversity. The Church of the Life's Fire, the Courts of
Justice, the Founder's Creation, the Order of Life, Church
of Chance and Temple of Enchantment all have large
followings in Thybaj. The House of Scorn, the House of
Hunger and Impostors also have many worshippers here.
Thybajy merchants often trade with those of Drhokker,
Tharggy and Skarrna. They export gemstones, silver ore,
copper ore and wool.
