Court of the Lambent Path

The Court of the Lambent Path is a council that rules over Aeshanadoor in the south of Marquet.

Description
The Court of the Lambent Path controls Aeshanadoor, the region south of the Rumedam Desert and the Panagrip Sands and east of the Taloned Highlands, bordered to the northwest by the Hellcatch Valley. The Court is a council of great social influence, a "political powerhouse" watching over the whole region. It is primarily orcish.

History
The Court of the Lambent Path and the Stratos Throne of the Taloned Highlands engaged in skirmishes that ultimately resulted in the Apex War in 823 PD, two decades before Campaign 3. The war exhausted both sides and had no clear winner. The truce is maintained at the time of Campaign 3, in 843 PD. The Court of the Lambent Path is still working to rebuild its society, though have maintained their cultural prestige.

Not long before 843 PD, a member of the Court of the Lambent Path made an arrangement with the Gorgynei whereby the Gorgynei would ensure the safety of the roads through the Gloomed Jungles, and in turn, they would be allowed to settle, unbothered, in the jungle.
