Falkus

Falkus is a country located across the Falkus Strait to the north of the Blackloam Provinces and the Red-Gold Republic. It contains St. Wassim, the Holy Seat, and Almquist's Outpost.

Until forty years ago, Falkus was ruled by a cabal of vampires. After freeing a "reformed" demon lord known as Strife, the vampire-hunting Brotherhood of the Broken Fang led an insurrection that resulted in the destruction of the vampire hierarchy and the establishment of a theocracy devoted to Ormandril, a god whom they believed Strife to be an angel of. Falkus consists largely of a sparsely-populated desert, but its southern border is a lawless rainforest ruled by pirates and smugglers. To its west is a mountain range called the Skoglung Mountains, which includes a narrow, bandit-patrolled passage called Tor's Pass.

Falkus is home to the knowledge-hoarding assassins known as the Cruor Chalice, formerly led by the vampire drow Scorpion. It is now led by Izvuuk.
