Fiction:The Firmament/Gromkazul

Gromkazul is one of the ten continents of Telamon. Located to the northeast, this landmass is famed for its rugged and warmongering inhabitants, who have served as the bane of Dryadala since the beginning of recorded history.

History
The region known today as Gromkazul is believed to once have been part of the empire of the Primordials, where the ancestral race suffered great damage due to the demonic invasion of Varagarash Narahil. Many Primordials eventually pledged allegiance to the demon lord Druacath and were transformed into the first Greenskins, an act which is believed to have tainted the continent itself to some extent.

Over the course of recorded history following the Great Gap, the orcs of Druacatakh became the uncontested rulers of Gromkazul, launching a mighty invasion into the south and leading to the Great Eondrassana War. The emergence of humankind also saw their race spread across this region, becoming the barbarian tribes of the Ruscs, though none are truly sure of where exactly these humans came from.

Nations

 * Druacatakh - The largest faction of Greenskins in Telamon, Druacatakh is the home land of their kind and where their ancestral customs are still the strongest. Led by fearsome orcish warlords, they seek to one day enact vengeance against the nations of the south for defeating them in ages past.
 * Giantsteppe - A hostile tundra devoid of true civilization, the Giantsteppe is home to many of the world's giants, who lumber across the landscape looking for food, riches, a fight or any combination of those.
 * Ruscland - An expansive taiga and tundra covering the western shore, Ruscland is inhabited primarily by tribes of strong and barbaric humans who live lives of constant toil, fighting and raiding those weaker than themselves.

Native races

 * Cyclopes - Monstrous elephant-like Giantkin with a single glaring eyes upon their heads, cyclopes travel the wastes of the Giantsteppe, marking their territory with the bones of their fallen foes.
 * Giants - The dim-witted and much maligned ancestors of all Giantkin, the giants are a menace hailing from the Giantsteppe who trample and eat anything smaller than themselves. The other races of Gromkazul are fond of using them as a test of their abilities, or convince them to join their warbands.
 * Goblins - Considered by most to be a blight upon the world, the aggressive and stupid Goblins hail from Gromkazul, having over the ages spread across much of Telamon. Whether as servants or as savage killers, there is no place safe from their reach.
 * Orcs - The dark children of the Primordials, the Orcs claim Gromkazul as their domain. War-like and combative by nature, they respect only strength and shun all cowardice. Their kind has spread across most of the east, either in warbands or tribes.
