Var-Azim

Var-Azim

Var-Azim is a large island just off the southern coast of Mérindar, in the Strait of Sharks. It is a sandcovered land, with dunes and strange sandstone formations and even stranger people. The people are Humans yet they have a darker skin tone and very different hair unseen on Gelduran. Over the years they have invaded Gelduran three times, each unsuccessful. Var-Azim’s capital is Velqiz, which is ruled by Azan the Sandking.

In the south of Var-Azim is a large jungle, the only one on all of Gelduran. Var-Azim has a mighty naval force, but they have been dormant due to the relative peace between Var-Azim and the rest of Gelduran.

Government

Var-Azim is a Theocracy. The religious here hold the power, and those who do not belief in the Sandgod are captured and executed. The highest ranking member of the Church of the Sandgod is the ruler of Var-Azim, but as he has his attention on the church he elects Sand Lords who govern and oversee the day to day things. When the leader dies the next highest ranking member of the church is elected.
