The Dark Lands, known as Umaroth, lie northwest of Aleras and are centered around a large volcano. This harsh region is home to Orcs, Goblins, and other dark creatures. Dominated by orcish war clans, Umaroth's society values strength and conquest, with leaders rising through combat prowess. The orcs and their allies frequently invade the neighboring Kingdom of Vala, driven by a desire to expand their territory and dominance. These invasions are part of a larger strategy by Umaroth's warlords to spread their influence and bring other lands under their shadowy rule.
