Part Three : Amn'oaz

        Amn'oaz is a tropical rainforest, situated to the south-west of Tanmar and in between Mulkor to the north and the region of Sannwel to the south. All around hot and humid weather, consistent throughout the entire year, alongside with the constant, heavy downpours, contributed to the wild and exuberant growth of various plants. Flowers, ferns, bushes, bamboo and trees. Millions of trees. Palm trees, rubber paras and the largest of them all, the kapok trees. 

       This created a perfect ecosystem for the tremendous expanse of the variety of animal species. From the insects, to the amphibians and the fishes, the reptiles and the birds, all the way to the different mammals, herbivores and carnivores. Life was everywhere, from the ground, to the tallest of the treetops. This jungle was teeming.

        Epicenter of it was the Starg valley, an enormous space of open fields cutting through the thick forest. Nestled in between four rivers, Gharn, Taroin, Rouhn and Seeir, which ultimately formed four great lakes of same names, Starg was an obvious and desired location for every single tribe living in this jungle.

       Long time ago, there were over hundred of these tribes. Most of them were wild halflings, but there was also a couple of wood elf tribes. But in time they left the jungle altogether, heading south over the mountains, into a much tamer, temperate rainforest area, sitting in between Amn'oaz and the region of Sannwel, further to the south. Seemingly never ending dangers of everyday life in this place, was simply too much for them to endure.

                                            

       Contrary to them, halflings managed to adapt and overcome the dangers of the jungle. And they did it in the only way possible, by finding the strength in numbers. Smaller tribes joined in to form the larger ones. The larger tribes then absorbed the other smaller ones. The process lasted for decades, until there was five, huge tribes. They became known as Pamens, who were living alongside river and the shores of the lake Taroin. Sumens, who were wandering up and down the river Seeir. Remen tribe, which usually kept themselves around the Rouhn lake. Qimens, living on the Gharn lake. And the Tomens, the tribe of fishermen, who wandered around the Starg, looking for a catch on all the rivers and lakes.

       The tribes lived in peace for most of the time. Often trading the food and other resources. Often depending on one another, to help tackling the troubles of jungle living and surviving. Until the events that followed the Dorull Stories novella, Prisoner of the Amulet (published), and Dorull Stories short story, Servants of the Primeval Rot (published) changed the Amn'oaz forever. 

       Amn'oaz is also mentioned in Dorull Saga novels, Blood Vengeance - part one (published), Blood Vengeance - part two (wip), Frozen Tomb (wip), Secrets of the Amulet (wip), Planet of the Slaves (wip) and Dorull Stories novella, Half-blood Princess (wip).
