Zan

Zan

Zan recovered first after the Calamity. The lush valley between the Chapel and Durren Mountains escaped the catastrophic desolation and destruction that plagued the surrounding countryside. Although there remained many strikes of the Hammer of God, the vegetation and wildlife recovered much quicker than the other areas.

          The people of Zan rebuilt quickly. They made every attempt to return to normal life although none knew what that would look like. In the years that passed, Zan became a refuge for various nomadic tribes of survivors. Its low hills and heavily wooded dales provided valuable resources for the people.

          Strong national leadership set up a form of feudalism to keep the peace and guide the prosperity of the country. The fortress of Those Who Came Before, Saren Kerns, became the seat of power and government for all of Zan. Land owners paid tribute to the King of Zan for protection.

          The line of kings stood strong for many, many years until one small heir fell sick and died. The charismatic leader of Ertzer, B’hoa, took over the place of power in Saren Kerns. There he still reigns by the power of his words.
