Louh
That great and terrible nation, home to mad alchemists and their mutants— a patchwork people. Molded from all other manner of life in the known world into something new, something unknown. I wish to avoid it, if possible.Louh is a nation disliked by most of its neighbors, a dislike that's grown to hatred in recent years as it has become transformed under the rule of the mad tyrant Dor Tzetz, who usurped the throne a decade ago. However, Louh is at the forefront of alchemical knowledge, creating amalgams and hybrids such as heul or oft discarded human amalgams. This draws scholars and alchemists to its borders, and makes them a valuable trade partner. The nation and its actions are driven largely by one particular goal— to become something greater than human.

Not every mutation is a success, this is due to the nature of alchemy— yet stumbling upon those poor souls does not inspire confidence in the nation's alchemists. So, after Tzetz's rule began, many of them were forcibly relocated to isolated villages where further experiments and manual labor are carried out.Remove these ads. Join the Worldbuilders Guild
I love the detail in this article - the history, the military, the quirks that make Louh unique. This is my favourite line - 'enemy's blood turned to metal, the fat within their bodies set alight, their joints joined together'. Such visceral horror there. I'm looking forward to finding out more about Dor Tzetz. He sounds like a character and a half.

Thank you! I'm glad you like them! I had them on the docket for quite a while but needed everyone else set up before I could write them. I'll definitely get to them in the future!
