Karga

Karga is the most remote and barren country of the Royal Empire, home two just a handful of settlements one of which, Varekan, a township of less than a hundred homes is the closest thing to a capital city. Karga is a country of flat, featureless tundra - called the Expanse - ending in colossal mountain ranges where Stonegiants and Frostgiants regularly vie for territory. The country, while ruled by the Empire, is governed by a council of wealthy and important citizens, from wizards to blacksmiths, who have been allowed to act with complete autonomy.

The Expanse is home to several barbarian hordes, mostly orcish and goliath, the latter of which has been slowly merging with the human settlements since they began defending the townships for coin, liking the taste of civilization.
