Many of the other peoples regard Tenebrans with a good deal of caution, and with good reason. No other nation has studied death so extensively. And from study, Tenebrans have become extremely adept at dealing it out. There is even a nursery rhyme called "Old Man Ten" written to parody their practices which is also played in taverns to lighten the mood.
Landscape
Tenebra is riddled with hills, crags, mountains and coastal cliffs. It is an up and down country. The region is noted for its magnificent sunsets and long shadows. The city proper of Tenebra is nestled near the coast, on the hills of a valley.
History
Tenebra received much of its infamy after the rise of Prince Mallieb of Teneb. After he ascended to Prince of Tenebra, he declared the place a haven for all weary spirits, still attached to mortal coils or not. The city received an immediate influx of friendly and unfriendly Dolons eager for a home. The city has adjusted to their presence, serving as the only city of Jaeis which accepts the creatures without exception.
The Tenebrans have never been very good at growing or making things. It seems as if the land around them plots to undermine their attempts at becoming proficient farmers and prodigious builders. Theirs was a land known for its haunting beauty, its strange customs and stranger people, but not much else.
The Tenebran Alchemist Dir-daz changed all that when he created the process of making Tenebran Steel.
With the creation of Tenebran Steel, the industry of the area boomed. Weapons, armor, building materials: anything made of metal in Tenebra became a desired commodity. Tenebran Steel is known as the best steel for resisting the elements, keeping an edge, and receiving enchantments. Naturally, the Entropist Princes sought to make more weapons than anything: weapons do little besides destroy. And, like all good business-minded folk, they restricted the supply as the demand grew. Tenebran Steel weapons remain expensive, highly sought-after, and well worth their price.
