Black Marches

The Black Marches encompass a group of city-states situated in the Taranost. The three real cities with any semblance of power in the Marches are Mrimm Kyrenasham, Szith Valthoris, and Ilarnoamuth, each led by a Margrave or Margravine with the special rights to name their city's Weapons Master.

The Marches are independent-minded descendants of (undecided). Their cities have formed a tight confederacy that unites during the "Atrium of Cities" on many matters. In the events of aggression outside of their neighbors, the Marches assemble a joint military front that even the largest military forces cannot dismiss.

People or things are often referred to by their city, and are rarely ever named as a whole. However, many surface kingdoms refer to the whole as "The Dark Lands"
