Scorched Lands

The Scorched Lands is a wide section of land that is known to be the former nation of Kezimit before it was destroyed in the war that founded the Knight's Republic. It is located in The Vallum Empire, the border of Tudourium and a bit in Broina

Apperance
The Scorched Lands is generally known to be a literal hellscape. The ground has been described as a dark yellow and no clouds form in the area. There are lava mounds where the ground has broken up and there are remains of villages that wasn't burnt up, that once existed prior to the Serpentine Rebellion. There are a number of disused forts in the area, the most famous one being Fort Almuk, a mostly intact fort that lies on the north-eastern border of Tudourium.

History
Before it was the Scorched Lands, it was known to be a minor group of village that formed the country of Kezimit that was taken over by The Vallum Empire, the home of Elizabeth Tudourium.

The group of villages was also known as a buffer zone and an exclave of the Knight's Republic as it held many defectors. This became a focal point in the closing days of open conflict in the Serpentine Rebellion as many villages were torched by the empire and eventually, some kind of weapon was used across the whole region, turning the once fertile farm land into the hell scape that is now known as. Many poltical leaders of the Knight's Republic was killed in this henious final battle.

During the year 5643, the Knight's Republic offically claimed the area for their own, despite being apart of the Vallum Empire and as such; any issues that arose from that region was often dealt with by the Knight's Republic, the empire also used this to their advantage as they kickstarted a cult of occultists in the Scorched Lands to create clones of the most prompient members of the Royal Knights.
