The Forbidden Territory has been inhabited since ancient times by humanoids who are called "Dark Ones" in the Empire.358Please respect copyright.PENANA22ujeqOBKs
The whole known part of the Forbidden Territory is covered with gray desert. The inhabitants, mainly feed on worms, and the only crop that grows here is Ashwheat.358Please respect copyright.PENANASH8Whcmc5e
Ashwheat has a low nutritional value, Dark Ones make of it predominantly gray tasteless porridge. The weak and fragile constitution of most of the Dark Ones is caused by this.358Please respect copyright.PENANAgqMZkBDeLq
Because of their physical condition, they cannot wear heavy armour.358Please respect copyright.PENANAJGgde8pu7R
Thus, they have a special two-layer armour, a firmer and thicker layer on the surface, void, and another thin layer below the air pocket.358Please respect copyright.PENANAhnA2m4JfSi
358Please respect copyright.PENANAPniKNHxWbb
Their weapons and armour are made of black steel. Highly resistant, thanks to high carbon content.358Please respect copyright.PENANA1hIAnILwZd

Traveling around here is ensured by special beacons placed on the roads.358Please respect copyright.PENANAoXfu6FBnFb

The current Dark Ones are closely tied to the use of dark magic and demons.358Please respect copyright.PENANA2PdQbjD6zY
From the calling of the Mor'lak, demons form the last line of the dark legions.358Please respect copyright.PENANAI4qhR3GImB
The core of their armies are the Dark One's themselves.358Please respect copyright.PENANANfBVR2ciPA
The Dark One's mages still serve as a defence for important parts of the army, such as siege equipment and generals.358Please respect copyright.PENANAZfEBQpBJBH
Another part are "ogres", massive creatures carrying a two-handed hammers. The birth of such a creature in their conditions is a mystery, dark magic probably has to do something with it. 358Please respect copyright.PENANA0zrzMinUSw
