Gao’Dir

Province: Gao'dir ((guy-oh deer))) Capital City: Pedret (pea-dret)) Colors: blue, red, and orange Symbol: a solid black anchor Races: bipedal feral-foots(aka pawfoot trolls), polar fishtrolls, standard landwelling trolls(humanoid) Government: Kratocracy(sole rule by the Emperor) Religion: Pantheon of the Four Celestials(open religion that centeres on worship of the sun, Pelonris(peh-loan-ris) and three moons, Ferjn(fee-yearn), the smallest, Untrei(oon-trey), the largest, and Yulrec(yule-wreek)the green moon) Worship of the Lady of the Ice is the second main religion in this province, though not widely practiced anywhere outside of the uppermost region and by sailors hailing from upper Gao'dir. Resources: Gold, iron, stone, fish, and tech related hard drives and memory chips Description of Major Cities: Pedret, Capitol(very high population, most diverse city): a large secure city or stone carved into the side of a moutain, overlooking the weathered, icy port and the choppy Gradosian Sea. It looks very underwhelming and bleak for a capital, but most of the actual city is in the carved out inside of the mountains hull. The inner city has levels upon levels of different stores homes and businesses stacked on top of each other, all carved into the moutain side over many generations, connected by paved stone walkways, wooden bridges for the newer constructs. It is kept heated by a lava pool discovered a bit aways from the moutain center. Mixed caste populous    Nuum'yal(noom-yall)(medium population): this city is only polar fishtrolls. It is so far up by the poles, that any other specie of troll who try to live there perish witin a week or less. Since the city is in the middle of the upper middle, windy polar tundra. The buildings of the city are all very low and close to the ground, with odd swooping, leaning round shapes. If you didnt know better, on first glance the white windowless buildings look like snowdrifts. There is two gold mines next to the city, which puts it on high on the list of importance to the Empires economy. All low-mid tier violet populous. Eqlin(eck-lyn)(high population) is city is located on the outskirt of the middle region, border the top of the lower regions forests, sandwiched inbetween a stone gully and the trees. Most of the buildings are either carved into the stone cliff, dug into the ground, or made from wood. The city is more or less highly populated because of the two mines, which provide good jobs and pay. Mostly a midblood populous. Xaykiltriq(zay-keel-treek)(very high population): this city is one of the most scenic cities in the entire province. Taking example from the magnificent treehives of Treseti, most of the buildings are in the air, suspended between the mixed oak and pine forests. Super strong wires and cables hold the constructs up, with swinging wooden bridges connecting between each platform. The ground below is completely open and grassy, and is usually converted into a trading market during the night, covered in all different stalls from the other provinces. Its lively and bustling, lit by floating lanterns and lights in the traders stalls, so many other trolls voices ringing together, different scents from the foods being cooked, so many different glittering, colorful wares surrounding the crowded walkways. Its a very popular visitors spot because of all the different spots to see. The mining section is a half mile from the city itself, six medium sized mines scattered loosely around a quater mile area. A small town has sprung up around the mines, housing the trolls that work there. The different mines contain silicon, titanium, granite, iron, copper, and a single marble quarry. Mixed lowblood populous Most of the stone and the matierals for making the tech comes from here History: the first residents of Gao'dir were prisoners sent to the bitterly cold province as a death sentence, a final way of ridding extra charges who were clogging up the sytem during the rule of Their Imperial Valliance. Among them were twelve feralfoots, twenty polars, and thirteen various caste regular trolls who together started the barebones construction of the now capitol city of Pedret in the mother moutain. They never expected the prisoners to survive, let alone settle down and declare independence from the empire Gao'dir is the youngest province on Beforus, only belonging to the Empire for 2,457 sweeps. This means is dosent have as much political power as the other older provinces. But theyre working on improving their standing with the Empire, considering there is now a new ruler on the throne. Physical: most that live here have a thick, padded muscular build. Long thick hair and weathered skin is a common sight to see around much of these parts. Even the smallest troll in Gao'dir is stronger and leaner than the average troll on Beforus.

Mannerisms: The people of the upmost region of Gao'dir are a quiet, gruff bunch. Not much talking is done, as that wastes precious hest and energy. In fact, most use technology to properly communicate from troll to troll. They hold the appearances of savages, but its the complete opposite. They practice good manners, and are quite polite to those they have accepted into their various close knit communes. They have some of the strongest group “family structures” out of any others in the provinces. Young trolls and their lusii are recruited into one of the many small villages, where they are offered safety and food in return for helping contribute to the village. Middle region Gao'dir residents are much livelier and chattier than the upper regions, there being more abundant resources to contribute to other activities. Theyre often found running about, huddled in small groups either chatting or exchanging items. Sometimes fights break out, but rarely, since most cant afford to be hurt in any manner without death looming Lower region has a strict work ethic for the most part, housing the most mines in the entire province. The trolls here look harsh, tough and muscled, less padded and fatty built than the others

Weather patterns: The upper regions of Gao'dir experience constant below zero tempatures, and blizzard like conditions near daily. Only the hardiest of life can live in these areas without perishing. The middle regions are best described as arctic tundra with dwarfed shrubbery and trees scattered about. Weather can go from mild springlike weather, to being just as bad as the poles in a matter of hours. Cholerbears are common in these regions, and caution should be exercised when traveling the tundras. The lower areas are nothing but mixed forests, which are visited by rain and sleet/snow on the daily depending on the season. This region of the province is the most densely populated, as tempatures are nowhere as extreme as is in the upper two regions. Language: basic Beforean is the main language, slang and other colloquialism is freely exchanged depending on region. Sign language and local languages are also used. Cuisine: upper regions mostly eat wild lusii and large fish they hunt down, sometimes other trolls if times are desparate enough, but many refuse to go to those lengths. Insects are a rare springtime delicacy that are greatly savored when they are available. Middle regions eat ground nuts, tubers, lusus/cholerbear/bird meat, and fish if by the shoreline. Bark and sometimes berries are also consumed as a protien packed snack for the hunters. Lower regions have a heavy meat based diet, herding alien cattle and hunting native wildlife, sometimes adding hardy winter greens to suppliment their meals. Vegetables can be grown in this region, and so those are added in when needed, and also traded to the uppermost regions for money and other goods they cant get where they are Transport: by foot, via mount, or transportalizer Greetings: “May the the Light of the Three Ladies guide your path”, the classic grunt n nod, most greetings vary per group
