==Huron== 

Huron stretches across a great swathe of plains and hills in the north of the Drakkath region, and is perhaps the dominant power of the area.  A nation proud of its traditions of horsemanship and war, Huron labours under a military command structure, a Lord-Commander at its very head.  Huron seeks to take up the mantle of the fallen Drakkath Empire, even though in the era of the Empire itself, the Huronese who lived on its northern border were just a minor province.  When the lands beyond the great cliff that marks Huron's western edge fell into chaos and destruction at the hands of the Elder Gods, the Huronese clans who lived there migrated east in great numbers, aiding the downfall of the Drakkath Empire as they flooded into the lands of their eastern kindred.

The patron deity of Huron is Urazel.  The Huronese are a major military power with aggressive expansionist tendencies, and make heavy use of cavalry in their armies.  The Flame Guild has a strong base in Huron, as do several thaumineer organisations.  Old alliances wrought by Urazel himself mean that the Huronese can reputedly call upon the aid of several dragons that dwell in the wilder reaches of the Huron lands.

Despite the military power and authoritarian tendencies of the Huronese, the clan-based structure and long, storied history of their people and conquests mean that internal power struggles and unrest are a serious problem, perhaps exemplified by the Black Tower of Zhatan.

It is said that the ancestors of the Huronese swore strange, binding pacts with an inhuman species that once ruled the Myrmec desert, promising to keep certain eldritch horrors bound beneath Huronese soil.  It is also said that a rare few of the precious blood-sweating horses of the western Huronese lands survived the fall of that region, and examples occasionally crop up amongst Huronese herds.
