Urgunthour

Urgunthour [Ur-gun-thor] is the second-smallest country in Eia, beaten only by Tokah and sits on the south-western tip of Mechichai. Cut off from the mainland by perpetually-severe weather, Urgunthour is considered a territory, rather than a country, due to its lack of a government or political system, and has been left as a fallen state.

It is said to be the land of slave-trade, and more notably among hawkers, the place where only 'the worst' sorts of people go to live as outlaws. The territory is supposedly in such disrepair that even the military superpowers of Eia don't venture there.

Geography
Urgunthour is a bleak, desolate and dangerous land that has been turned a blind eye by the monarchs of Eia. The aptly named 'Shipgrave' Mountains line the northern border where the Still River runs through, this is where the unending storm looms. Known as Stormgate, this enormous swell of thunderous fog is notorious for its bad luck. Little to no-one has ever come back from Stormgate alive.

The Sheers are a complex of tall cliffs that stretch for over 50 miles across the territory, meeting with the Shipgrave mountains at each end. Little is known about the state of Urgunthour as it currently stands, due to the fact that any records about it are null now that it's near impossible to get there. While it's western and southern borders are accessible, the shores are patrolled by militia thank sink and raid incoming ships.

Stormgate
Stormgate lies over the Shipgrave Mountains and has done for over 5,000 years. It is a low-hanging storm that never relents, reaching from the north of the mountains down to the Fatharos region. Stormgate is known for its hostile atmosphere, striking down ships with vicious lightning, leaving them to fall into the mountains never to be seen again. Due to the constant rain, large waterfalls crash through the mountains into the Still River, otherwise known as Shipgrave Waters.

Fatharos City
The only city in Urgunthour, Fatharos sits in the east. It is also the only above-ground structure in the entire territory. It is known to be a dangerous city filled with outlaws and criminals taking on bounties. Stormgate lies just above the city, making it dark and damp all day and night.

Baradust Complex
The Baradust Complex is a vast span of caves and tunnels that wind through the Sheers, acting as homes to the common-folk of Urgunthour. It is said to house hundreds of miles of tunnels.

Black Pike
Black Pike is a small port village on the southernmost tip of Urgunthour.

Slavehall
Slavehall is the coastal fortress near Black Pike, sitting atop a precarious mound of rock. Due to Urgunthour's lawless nature, people are sold to owners as life workers. Slavehall itself is run by a mysterious figure called The Auctioneer, rumoured to be other-worldly and wraith-like.
