Samarkand

The War of the West
Samarkand was the aggressor in The War of the West, attacking Took without warning in 2061. Most of its battles took place against the forces of Directus. A treaty was signed between Samarkand and the Osean Federation in 2078 which ended the war.

Climate
The lands of Samarkand are harsh and arid. In the summer, the land can become sweltering hot, and due to lack of rainfall it can be difficult to grow crops. An exception to this is the Samar bay, which is fairly fertile. The Deserts are broken in the north by the Tarsis Mountains, which border the Stasis Sea.

Religion
Samarkand is of the Samar religion, worshipping the god Madd, lord of chaos, destruction, and madness. Those of Samarkand believe that Sparklelord is Madd's current avatar in the world.
