This article is about the area of Wildemount. For the episode, see Xhorhas (episode).
Northeast Exandria, Version 10

Northeastern Exandria

Xhorhas lies in the expansive wastes and turbulent badlands of eastern Wynandir. The empire is largely centered in the northern lands surrounding the ruins of Ghor Dranas: former city of the Betrayer Gods during the Age of Arcanum.[1] Known as the Kryn Dynasty, it is ruled by the Empress Leylas Kryn dominate.[2] The southern portions of Xhorhas consist of awful marshes.[3]

Xhorhas is smaller than the Dwendalian Empire and has few natural resources. It is a scarred landscape overrun with beasts and terrors left over from the Calamity.[4]

The Ifolon River runs through Xhorhas, pooling in a marshy area towards the south.

The Xhorhasians are derogatorily referred to by the Dwendalians as "cricks" (short for "crickets"). This is due to the holes that are cut into Xhorhasian armor, causing the armor to produce as a chirping sound as the troops charge forward.

Notable Locations
