A coastal region full of hilly plains and forests, with many settlements along the twin rivers that feed their agriculture, and in between the two, called Isibanda("the scar", for it is crooked and almost still) and Inkemba("the sword", for it is straight and swift), there are mountains.

They are the Abantu(the "people"), a breed of human who are the result of eugenics projects by a long extinct group they call the Ezizungezayo, or the "Tormentors". What little is known about them besides Abantu folklore, reveals that A), they were some kind of Elf long ago, B), they called themselves something completely unpronouncable for a Human larynx, and C) were probably destroyed by their own pissed off god.

Militarily they are a mixture of medium infantry, horse archers and heavy cavalry. Their armor resembles 16th century Japanese armor, except this is forged of steel, not iron. Swords are messer of various lengths. A round shield is the partner of that and a spear, except for the horse archers, who have a bow instead of the spear.
