Orobos

The lands of Orobos are a ruined place. Blackened land, and lava flows cover the lndscape.
The Last Emperor of the Orobos Empire destroyed most of his lands while performing a ritual, attempting to summon some great Celestial Beast.  The ritual failed and the northern part of his empire was left ruined.
These burned and ruined lands are now controlled by the enders cult, who are primarily left alone due to their lands being worthless. The cult are unfriendly to outsiders and very secretive.
The Umbra Domain has recently expanded into the black lands, setting up the Shades encampment, a research base, focussed on attempting to recover lost artifacts of the Orobos Empire
