Ishaw

Background
Ishaw is a nation primarily consisting of nomads, though some have set up small settlements across the Grand Plains and larger towns and cities along the Starlight Sea and Wesgul Caldera. Ishaw is the least developed nation of T’ona’scep with only three major hubs across the entire country.

Culture/Religion
Ishaw has a loose governmental structure and economy. The strongest clan or tribe is in power until another overthrows them. The leadership is primarily symbolic, many of the clans and tribes self-govern and are nomadic, living in the Grand Plains. There is a large emphasis placed on respect of strength and power, though there are no official laws, many default to obeying the strongest clan. Those that do congregate in the established settlements are typically immigrants or people banished from their tribes. The majority of the tribes are orc and goliath in origin, though there are mixed race clans, other humanoid species (humans, elves, dwarves, etc) typically elect to live in the cities without getting involved in tribal matters.

Exports
Tribes primarily trade crafted goods and hunting trophies with other nations and merchants. Ishaw is not known for any particular exports.

= Settlements =

O'ggool
The unofficial capital of Ishaw, O’ggool is the largest and most established settlement of Ishaw. The ruling clan traditionally resides in O'ggool though there have been exceptions. The leader of the current ruling clan, Khurren Bonebreaker of the Rok'na'thei Tribe, currently lives in O'ggool. There is a great hall in the center of the city where clan disputes are settled and overseen by the current leader of the ruling clan.

Bostrod Ferry
As the only major port in Ishaw that sits on the Wesgul Caldera, Bostrod Ferry is one of the few ways into Ishaw by boat. Many ships offer passage to anywhere and everywhere, provided you have the coin. You can find just about anything in the market- and if you can’t find what you’re looking for there’s always some way to obtain whatever it is in the less savory parts of the city.

Crookpoint
The southwest settlement of Crookpoint is a port town that offers passage to O'ggool and Tash'nga in K'agrar. It is a village rich in natural resources from both the Starlight Sea and the Brimtou Swamp.
