Goreskin

Called the Goreskin Empire, they were perhaps the last bastion of the Marcon Alliance.

History

Goreska began as a small, relatively unimportant province in a distant part of the Marcon Alliance. Many Marconians had settled there, as it was one of the last new frontiers conquered by the empire. When the Marcon Alliance was destroyed at the begining of the Second Chaotic Period, Goreska was remote enough to be spared devestation.

However, Goreska was a dry, arid region, with few natural resources of their own. Previously, they had relied on aid from the greater Marcon Alliance for for maintaining their army. The Goreskins continued to practice the Marconian customs, slavery, opression of women, and conquest, though they had little success with the last one.

As the events of the Second Chaotic Period devolved, the Goreskins were able to win more and more victories, eventually completely abandoning their original territory in favor of more fertile ground. They contructed one of the last Mage Towers, which the named "Darkest Spite" in accordance with Marconian religous beliefs.

The remained of the Goreskin Empire was finally destroyed by Uther in A.Y. 12, at the Battle of Sanguine Gulch.
