	== Overview ==		== Overview ==
	Feroz is the southernmost territory of the Brass Coast, and like [[Madruga]] to the north has both isles and coastline. Here the climate is warm and humid, perfect for the cultivation of different plants. This is the home of the fabulous spice gardens of Feroz, a source of great revenue for the people of this territory. The seas are more treacherous here, and the south and the west are constantly threatened by barbarians by land. As a result, many armed merchants patrolled the seas, and groups of young warriors journeyed along the borders, fighting skirmishes against jealous foes.

			==Celesti Lighthouse==
			Situated near the farthest tip of the [[Feroz#Oran\|Oran]] peninsula, at one of its highest points, is the [[Celesti_Lighthouse_Keeper#The_Celesti_Lighthouse\|Celesti lighthouse]]. Nearly five hundred feet tall - a wonder of the Empire that once rivalled the [[Madruga#The_Shining_Pillar_(Destroyed)\|Shining Pillar]] of [[Madruga]] - it was originally commissioned as part of the massive investment in coastal ports and defences during the reign of [[Emperor Barabbas]]. Intended to serve both as a navigation aid and to keep a watch for signs of [[Grendel]] ships, the structure was much larger than it needed to be - making it an object of ribald fun for satirists and humourists around the Bay of Catazar. Barabbas planned to have the lighthouse lit in a dramatic display as his great armada sailed past on its way to conquer Attar but due to overspending and delays, construction hadn’t yet started on the complex beacon, and only the tower itself was finished.

			Following the destruction of the Barabbine Fleet, funding for coastal projects abruptly ceased, and there was little Senate interest in completing what was largely seen as one of the late Throne's great follies. In 380YE, however, '''Ahraz i Guerra''' of the Celesti - the hakima who tended the empty tower - raised the money necessary to complete the beacon. For several years, the golden light of the Gilded Peaks shone out across the Bay, welcoming travellers to the Brass Coast, and providing a vital navigation aid for those attempting to traverse the isles and sandbanks of [[Feroz#Cazar Strits\|Cazar]]. The "Celesti Lighthouse Keeper" was charged with maintaining the tower; keen to promote trade with the newly opened foreign ports in the [[Principalities of Jarm]]. Sadly, when Feroz was conquered by the [[Grendel]], and ceded to the [[orc\|orcs]] by the subsequent [[Ratify_treaty_with_the_Grendel_Autumn_383YE#Treaty\|peace treaty]], the lighthouse came under the dominion of the ruthless and avaricious ''Governor Rahab''. Who promptly wrecked it.

			In 387YE, the lighthouse was restored to its former glory; or more properly surpassed it. Rebuilt, it was furnished with a unique lamp incorporating a boon of [[Kimus]] called the ''watchstone''. The light is now unquenchable, but more than that it ensures that everyone on the Bay of Catazar is aware of exactly where the lighthouse is even if they cannot see it. It has both boosted the morale of the corsair families, and sent a defiant message to the enemies of the Brass Coast. More even than that, the magical lamp has a [[Celesti_Lighthouse_Keeper#Light_in_the_Storm\|potent connection]] to the new lighthouse keeper that may help keep the Freeborn safe from future attacks against their coast.

			Following the destruction of the Barabbine Fleet, funding for coastal projects abruptly ceased, and there was little Senate interest in completing what was largely seen as one of the late Throne's great follies. In 380YE, however, '''Ahraz i Guerra''' of the Celesti - the hakima who tended the empty tower - raised the money necessary to complete the beacon. For several years, the golden light of the Gilded Peaks shone out across the Bay, welcoming travellers to the Brass Coast, and providing a vital navigation aid for those attempting to traverse the isles and sandbanks of [[Feroz#Cazar Strits\|Cazar]]. The "Celesti Lighthouse Keeper" was charged with maintaining the tower; keen to promote trade with the newly opened foreign ports in the [[Principalities of Jarm]]. Sadly, when Feroz was conquered by the [[Grendel]], and ceded to the [[orc\|orcs]] by the subsequent [[Ratify_treaty_with_the_Grendel_Autumn_383YE#Treaty\|peace treaty]], the lighthouse came under the dominion of the ruthless and avaricious ''Governor Rahab''. Who promptly wrecked it.

			In 387YE, the lighthouse was restored to its former glory; or more properly surpassed it. Rebuilt, it was furnished with a unique lamp incorporating a boon of [[Kimus]] called the ''watchstone''. The light is now unquenchable, but more than that it ensures that everyone on the Bay of Catazar is aware of exactly where the lighthouse is even if they cannot see it. It has both boosted the morale of the corsair families, and sent a defiant message to the enemies of the Brass Coast. More even than that, the magical lamp has a [[Celesti_Lighthouse_Keeper#Light_in_the_Storm\|potent connection]] to the new lighthouse keeper that may help keep the Freeborn safe from future attacks against their coast.

	Being on the [[Bay of Catazar]], Feroz has always been under threat from the [[Grendel]] [[orc\|orcs]]. In Spring 383YE, the orcs [[383YE_Spring_Equinox_winds_of_war#Spindrift\|launched a naval invasion]], capturing [[#Oranseri\|Oranseri]] and the [[#Cazar Straits\|Cazar Straits]] in short order and making significant inroads into [[#Fontargenta\|Fontargenta]]. The Grendel installed a grizzled old orc named ''Lord Rahab'' as overseer of the conquered land; he took up residence in the offices of the [[Scorrero Nets]] and quickly set about attempting to bring the rest of Feroz under his control. Part of their plan appeared to involve the ghosts of the [[#Isle of the Osseini\|Isle of the Osseini]], but the scheme was countered by Imperial heroes travelling through the [[Sentinel Gate]] to exorcise the spirits and defeat the Grendel seeking to make use of them.

	Undaunted by the loss of their supernatural weapon, the orcs kept up their assault. By Summer 383YE, they [[383YE_Summer_Solstice_winds_of_war#The_World_is_Not_Enough\|sought to consolidate their gains in Fontargenta]]; they were opposed by [[Navarr]] and [[the Marches\|Marcher]] [[Army\|armies]], who held the Grendel at the town of [[#Fontargenta\|Bramar]] for two days before being forced to retreat. They were able to slow the Grendel advance, however, leaving the orcs bogged down in Fontargenta and unable to press inland.

	Following the engagement in Fontargenta, and battling under a powerful supernatural storm, the Grendel [[383YE_Autumn_Equinox_winds_of_war#Bronze\|brought even more force]] to bear in the territory. While the Imperial armies were reinforced by [[Highguard\|Highborn]] troops, the orc navies disgorged a great host of their own warriors. The fighting was bitter, but in the end Fontargenta fell - and as Fontargenta ~~falls~~, so ~~falls~~ Feroz. While [[#Morajasse\|Morajasse]] and [[#Afarjasse\|Afarjasse]] remained free, the Grendel forces continued to mass along the coast.

	During the Autumn Equinox 383, the [[Senate]] [[Ratify_treaty_with_the_Grendel_Autumn_383YE#Treaty\|ratified a peace treaty]] with the Grendel. Presented by the [[Imperial Fleet Master]], among other things it [[Powers_of_the_Imperial_Senate#Concedence\|ceded]] the two remaining regions of Feroz to the Grendel, albeit with provisions allowing Imperial citizens still in Morajasse and Afarjasse to withdraw to safety. Following the Equinox, Lord Rahab's forces spread out quickly to bring the two western regions under his control; Feroz was now [[To_curb_those_raging_appetites\|completely under Grendel control]].

	When Morajasse was ceded to the Grendel in Autumn 383YE, they took control of the fortification and later expanded it significantly. The fortification resisted the [[Glass and flame\|liberation]] of the territory, and as of the beginning of 387YE remains under the control of the Grendel. The garrison is led by ''[[Glass_and_flame#The_Shadow_of_Mora's_Rock\|Commander Gallum Fiersach]]'', ably supported by his partner, the ''Wind Lord Saoirse''.

	The garrison there includes a warband of veteran [[Elite_Grendel_troops#The_Stone_Born\|Stone Born]], and the remainder appear to be very experienced soldiers. These Grendel are enemies of the Empire, obviously, but that did not prevent them acting to [[A_circle_sewn_with_fate#The_Battle_of_Oran\|protect Oran]] from the Children of Wrecks in early 387YE. In the Summer of that year, the Senate [[387YE_Summer_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Recognise_Protectorate_of_Gallum_Fiersach\|recognised the Protectorate of Morajasse]] as foreigners, as long as they ~~reamined~~ independent of the Grendel. While there is still tension between the Freeborn and the orcs many see as occupying Morajasse, for now at least Gallum Fiersach's forces seem content to keep to their castle, apart from regular patrols along the borders of Feroz aimed at protecting the territory from the Children of Wrecks - and the Iron Confederacy.

A rich source of trade for whoever controls the gardens, the [[Imperial title]] of [[Keeper of the Spice Gardens]] has changed hands between families only a handful of times in the last few centuries, and the bargaining leading up to a new appointment has regularly involved the whole nation.

	Towards the end of the ceasefire secured by the treaty, in 385YE, ~~Shatarim~~ was attacked and wrecked. Warships of the [[Asavean Archipelago]], allies of the Grendel occupation, engaged in a campaign of destruction across the Cazar Straits, and along with the Isle of the Osseini, Shantarim bore the brunt. Many corsairs who had endured the occupation of the Grendel were slain, and the town was looted and left in ruins. When the Children of Wrecks arrived, there was precious little left for the to wreck.		Towards the end of the ceasefire secured by the treaty, in 385YE, Shantarim was attacked and wrecked.

	The wide open spaces of Afarjasse were sparsely populated even at the height of Feroz's prosperity. "Sweet afar" was a phrase sometimes used to describe being in the middle of nowhere, or an area where there was nothing but grass as far as the eye could see. The only major settlement was the quiet town of '''Afar''', established by [[hakima]] with close ties to the [[Guerra]] [[tribe]], near a potent [[regio]] tied to the [[Realms#Night\|realm of Night]]. The town was not hard to reach, but it stood alone in a sea of sprawling grassland, and never encouraged casual visitors. On nights when powerful magics were performed, Afar was often visible for miles around - great bonfires blazing and massive drums pounding out powerful rhythms to help raise (or draw down, or both) the passionate energy for powerful workings.

	As with the rest of Feroz, Afarjasse spent two years in the hands of the Grendel. The governor, Lord Rahab, made it clear that the hakima here would not be permitted access to their potent regio - they were after all an important strategic resource. Many of the people who once called the town home went into exile in [[Segura]] and [[Kahraman]] rather than endure Rahab's oppression. When the plains of Afarjasse were [[Glass_and_flame#Fontargenta_and_Bramar_and_Afar\|liberated from the Grendel]] it was discovered that Rahab had established massive farms around Afar. The crops were tended by slaves, several hundred of ~~whome~~ were held at Afar in great dormitories, forced to work the fields until they fell, with the same heedless cruelty the Grendel apparently show to those who toil in their salt mines. These people were liberated by the [[Narwhal's Spear]] and the [[Fist of the Mountains]], who executed everyone responsible for their durance. Most were Imperial citizens, but maybe a hundred came from further afield, bought by Rahab from the slave markets of the Broken Shore. Those who are not already Imperial citizens were offered new homes in the Empire. The farms remain, but enthusiasm to work them is understandably low.
