Hishma

A small nation bordering a large lake, much of the area is dominated by sporadic saltwater lakes and ponds. The people here do not benefit from the massive influx of trade like other regions we’ve talked about so far, so let’s make this area particularly unique and interesting to give reason for our players and other adventurers to visit the area at some point. Perhaps it stands opposed to the Ogenkan Empire. The region could be a bastion of freedom in an otherwise authoritarian area. Maybe a powerful water goddess who lives in the eastern sea who has overcome Ogek’s magic and can free collared individuals if they can make it to her sea. The region is likely sparsely populated outside the shores, though a single gleaming city could lie on its banks in service to the goddess and her servants. The city itself has large, spiraling, golden towers that jut into the air. The people have easy access to clean, fresh water and many animals that make their homes around the sea are enough to feed the population. Life in this region is still difficult, but compared to the tyranny of Ogek, it is a small price to pay for freedom. The goddess may be the only one in the region, and all those who live in her city are devout worshipers. I think the name of the region and the name of the goddess should probably be the same,
