	In the last half-century, Bahrkul has become a premiere stopping point for merchant middlemen trading in [[Nipangu\|Nipangui]] goods, boosting its economic power and the quality of its weapons. No other nation openly trades with the likes of Bahr, but smugglers and other merchants of ill reputation still gain a fortune off Bahr's 'natural treasures'.		In the last half-century, Bahrkul has become a premiere stopping point for merchant middlemen trading in [[Nipangu\|Nipangui]] goods, boosting its economic power and the quality of its weapons. No other nation openly trades with the likes of Bahr, but smugglers and other merchants of ill reputation still gain a fortune off Bahr's 'natural treasures'.

	Despite its size, if compared to other kingdoms across the continent, Bahr's influence is wider than it is given credit for. Many smugglers, highway burglars and criminal organizations acting across the continent are supported by Bahrkul, sending profits and information to the city in exchange for weapons and manpower. It is said the [[Elves~~#Drow\|Drow]]~~ have their own network of spies and criminals beyond the border, but they manage to act more subtly then their Goblinoid allies.

	Little is known about Bahr's actual history. There are no written records of its creation, but tales passed from generation to generation recall the story of the great wars, when the land was scattered with goblinoid tribes seeking supremacy over the other. The bloodshed was constant, giving little space for the land's development. Everything changed with the coming of [[Bahrkul Hero Worship\|Bahrkul]], the One, son of the God of War [[Ah'rlak]] and a mortal hobgoblin. Bahrkul proved to be special since his birth, showing strength and skill above all his peers. A natural charisma made him leader of his tribe, and his cunning in battle gave him more victories then any other warrior before him.		Little is known about Bahr's actual history.

Bahrkul proved to be special since his birth, showing strength and skill above all his peers. A natural charisma made him leader of his tribe, and his cunning in battle gave him more victories then any other warrior before him.

	Bahrkul was responsible for the slaying of thousands. Entire tribes were vanquished or enslaved by his armies. The power-hungry leader used of unorthodox strategies, including the use of human mercenaries from nations such as [[Aslar]], [[Teldanar]] and the future [[Elluria]], brought by the promise of great fortune. Still, the perhaps boldest move was Bahrkul's alliance with [[The Underworld]]. Before him, the people of the dark were considered 'evil spirits', avoided by the goblinoid races, but Bahrkul saw potential past the myths. He found a way into the Underworld, and for months he traveled through a maze of tunnels, with a small party of his best men, facing exotic creatures and challenges, until reaching his final destination: The ~~Drowish~~ city of [[Velvarianin]]. There, the leader met with one of the city's Matron Mothers.		Bahrkul was responsible for the slaying of thousands. Entire tribes were vanquished or enslaved by his armies.

There, the leader met with one of the city's Matron Mothers.

	'[[The Dark Pact]]', as it is commonly called, refers to the deal made with the Matron Mother. A powerful curse was cast by the dark city's priestesses upon the land of Bahr; black clouds covered the sky, casting the land in shadows for the next thousand years. This granted the ~~Drow had~~ safe passage to the surface, and Bahr saw his opponents slowly wither without their crops and livestock. Victory was complete.

	As the war ended, Bahrkul raised a great fortress to house his subjects, and that fortress would later become Bahr's only city, named after its founder. The population consisted of goblinoids, the human mercenaries that allied themselves to Bahrkul, and of course, the ~~Drow~~. The city sustained itself without the sun, thanks to food products exported from the Underworld--such as roots and insects--the wildlife from [[The Outland]], and another smaller shares imported from other nations. Riches were made in return both from the cheap but reliable weapons made by the goblinoids and the Underworld's exotic goods.

	Bahrkul himself lived over 200 years before passing his throne to his closest general, titled 'Tyrant' - a tradition still followed to this day. With his death, the leader ascended from General to a full God.

	[[The Outland]] comprises the wilderness outside Bahrkul. Quoting the words of a [[Teldanari]] explorer, Bahr's fields are the purest vision of decay in the continent. The land is dry and lifeless, too poor for agriculture, while the sky is forever shrouded by dark clouds, making the sun virtually unknown to [[Bahrians]]. Only few other creatures have managed to survive the harsh environment, such as [[Trolls]] and [[Wyverns]], feeding off of any travelers that dare to cross the border or leave the 'safety' of the city. In contrast with Bahrkul, the only rule in the Outlands is the rule of the fittest.		[[The Outland]] comprises the wilderness outside Bahrkul.

	[[The Underworld]], a mystery to most Bahrians, is a complex system of tunnels that exist below Bahr and a portion of [[Teldanar]], linking small cities and havens for miles underground. This is the kingdom of the [[Elves~~#Drow\|Drow]]~~, and other exotic but hostile races of great powers of magic and mind. Still, facts are hard to separate from myths when it comes to the Underworld. Some say Bahrkul is actually ruled by these races, with the [[Goblins\|Hobgoblins]] existing only as mere puppets to their schemes. Others say the [[The Dark Pact]], sealed in the time of Bahrkul, exists between the two worlds to this day.

	Although a few other foreign and tribal religions are still accepted, they are only allowed if no God comes before [[Bahrkul Hero Worship\|Bahrkul]].

	Bahr's gem is the port-city of Bahrkul. It's citizens are a mix of [[Goblins]] (70%), [[Humans]] (25%), and [[Dwarves#Gray Dwarves\|Gray Dwarves]] (4%). Other minorities include races from [[The Underworld]], such as the [[Elves~~#Drow\|Drow]]~~ (1%). Other [[Elves]] and [[Dwarves#Mountain Dwarves\|Mountain Dwarves]] are a rare sight and don't tend to last long among the other hostile races. Bahrkul has four districts, each segregated by race. The largest district houses the ruling 'higher' goblinoid race: the [[Goblins#Hobgoblins\|Hobgoblins]]. The second largest is divided between Goblins, [[Gnolls]], and a minority of [[Orcs]]. The third belongs to [[Humans]] that have become a growing power since the city's foundation. The fourth and smallest holds the 'gray dwarves', known as the [[Dwarves#Gray Dwarves\|Daehur]] in the goblinoid language, and other Underworld denizens.		Bahr's gem is the port-city of Bahrkul.

	Although Bahr hasn't involved itself into an open war in over two centuries, Bahrkul's military is strong and well organized, and where they lack in size, compared to other foreign armies, they make up in ingenuity. The goblinoid nation is well known for it's successful and effective use of trained beasts in the battlefield, dating back to Bahrkul. One particularly favorite are the Akrags - giant worms, native from the Underworld, capable of digging through the earth with astounding speed. The tunnels created by them are used as passage by Bahr's armies, enabling them to cross the field unnoticed and literally strike under the enemy's feet. Insect swarms and diseased vermin are other good examples of 'weapons' employed by Bahr. In contrast with the clans of Zul Kiras, Bahr cares little about honor in their lives or in the battlefield. Victory is the only goal, and the means always justify the ends in their mentality.

	'''Bahr''' is the smallest sovereign land of the southlands, bordered on the west and north by [[Teldanar]] and east and south by both Southern and Eastern seas. It's population mainly consists of the infamous green-skinned races, commonly known as 'goblinoids' - which includes Goblins, Hobgoblins and Gnolls. Bahr can usually be divided in three separate areas: The capital of Bahrkul, the Outland and the Underworld.
