Aeshanadoor, in Marquet, is situated south of the Rumedam Desert and the Panagrip Sands, east of the Taloned Highlands, and bordered to the northwest by the Hellcatch Valley. The Gloomed Jungles occupy its entire northern side.[4] The large Lake Koron occupies the middle of the territory, and the capital city of Yios was built on an island in the center of the lake.[5]

To outsiders, Aeshanadoor is "a shaded territory of treacherous wilderness". Aeshanadoor is governed by a council called the Court of the Lambent Path in Yios, historically a society of scholarly orcs.[6]

Hidden within the jungles is Barinak, the secret village of the Gorgynei. The Gorgynei hunt some dangerous creatures in the jungle and keep the roads safe as part of an arrangement with the Court of the Lambent Path.[7]

History[]

About twenty years before the start of Campaign Three, the Court of the Lambent Path and the Stratos Throne of the Taloned Highlands were engaged in a multi-year military conflict known as the Apex War, which culminated around 823 PD.

In Cuersaar 842 PD the Silken Squall was near Aeshanadoor.[8]

It's likely that the automatons controlling the gondolas of Jrusar were crafted in Aeshanadoor.[9]

Bells Hells traveled to Aeshanadoor, stopping in Barinak on the way to Yios.[10]

Representatives from Aeshanadoor were present at the second meeting Bells Hells attended in the Platinum Sanctuary of Vasselheim.[11] When the forces of the Exandrian Accord were preparing to leave the Dawn City and attack the Red Center, armies of both Aeshanadoor and the Stratos Throne were near each other, working together for the first time in many years.[12]

When the Era of Reclamation came to a close after the conflict between the Exandrian Accord and the alliance of the Kreviris Imperium and the Ruby Vanguard, it was decided that, since most of the inhabitants of Ruidus were innocent and deserved a chance to know Exandria, there would be exchange programs and ways to integrate them if they decided to visit the planet, of if any Exandrian wanted to explore the red moon. Aeshanadoor was one of the places that (collectively as a region) agreed to help in this endeavor.[13]
