The Redlands: The lands beyond the Oraya Satrapy are wide plains once ruled by Pentan nomads but abandoned more than a century ago. It is still most empty except for a few villages of Lunar pioneers and a few bands of Pentan nomads who have returned in recent years.

Varn Aks people: The Varn Aks are one of the Ten Arrows of Pent. They herd cattle, sheep, and goats, and worship the West King Wind, North War Wind, South Rage Wind, East Sting Wind, and Gamara the Horse Goddess.

Beat-Pot’s Rebellion: In 7/43, Beat-Pot took up his cleaver and butchered his overseers, starting a slave rebellion that rocked the Oraya Satrapy. He beat his cooking pot into a helmet and took an executioner’s sword, said to have once been the cleaver of a giant. He defeated the Lunar satrap and his army and quickly seized all of Oraya except the capital city itself.

Die Rotlande: Die weiten Ebenen jenseits der Satrapie Oraya wurden früher von pentischen Nomaden beherrscht, doch wurden sie vor über einem Jahrhundert verlassen. Sie sind immer noch größtenteils unbewohnt, bis auf ein paar Dörfer lunarer Pioniere und einigen pentischen Nomadengruppen, die in den letzten Jahren zurückgekehrt sind.

Das Volk der Varn Aks: Die Varn Aks sind einer von den Zehn Pfeilen von Pent. Sie haben Rinder-, Schaf-, und Ziegenherden und verehren den Westkönigswind, den Nordkriegswind, den Oststichswind und Gamara, die Pferdegöttin.

Topfschlags Rebellion: Im Jahre 7/43 nahm Topfschlag sein Fleischerbeil und erschlug seine Aufseher, was einen Sklavenaufstand auslöste, der die Satrapie Oraya erschütterte. Er hämmerte seinen Kochtopf um zu einem Helm und nahm das Schwert eines Scharfrichters, das angeblich aus dem Beil eines Riesen gemacht worden war. Er besiegte den lunaren Satrap und seine Armee, und eroberte bald ganz Oraya – bis auf die Hauptstadt.

Les Terres Rouges: Les terres au-delà de la satrapie d’Oraya sont de grandes plaines autrefois dominées par les nomades Pentiens, mais sont abandonnées depuis plus d’un siècle. Elles sont encore pratiquement dépeuplées, hormis quelques villages de colons Lunars et quelques bandes de nomades Pentiens qui reviennent ces dernières années.

Le peuple Van Aks: Les Van Aks sont l’une des dix Flèches de Pent. Ce sont des éleveurs de bovins, d’ovins et de caprins. Ils vénèrent le Vent Royal de l’Ouest, le Vent Guerrier du Nord, le Vent Rageur du Sud, le Vent Cinglant de l’Est et Gamara la Déesse Cheval.

La révolte du Marmiton: En 7/43, le Marmiton massacra ses contremaitres avec son couperet de cuisinier, ce qui marqua le début d’une révolte d’esclave qui secoua la satrapie d’Oraya. Il avait battu le bronze d’une marmite pour en faire un casque et pris l’épée d’un bourreau, que l’on disait être le couperet d’un géant. Il vainquit le satrape lunaire et son armée et soumit rapidement tout Oraya, à l’exception de la capitale.


Kalin Kadiev says

What date is 7 / 43?

1614 is the year measured in Solar Time (ST), which means it has been 1614 years since the Dawn. However the Lunars also use their own system of time, called Lunar Time, which calculates the date from the birth of the Red Goddess. So the first number (7) is called a Wane, while the second number is the year during that Wane (in this case 43). There are 54 years in a Wane, and this ends up being the same year as in Solar Time.

For events that occurred before the birth of the Goddess, the Lunars either use ST or use the ancient Dara Happan time measurements, depending on the person.
