Kalathar

On the western shore of the Gulf of Tears, the dread land of Kalathar blossoms amid god-fearing kingdoms and savage wildernesses. The Kaal, Kalathar’s ancient ruling caste, fatten themselves on the sweat, blood, and tears of the common folk, who are considered to be little more than livestock to the land’s debauched rulers. The Infernal Ecclesiarchy, eternally in service to the Lords of the Nine Hells, administers the labyrinthine laws of the land, imposing draconian punishments on the lowborn while highborn lords and ladies revel in the name of dark gods and lesser monsters. Birth is everything in Kalathar: for those with a respectable family name, “do what thou wilt” is the whole of the law; for those born to a lifetime of slavery in the innumerable plantations dotting the countryside, or born to scrape for the meanest of existences in the streets of Kalathar’s massive cities, the law demands unquestioning service on pain of punishments worse than death.
