==Geography==
Chogoris is a fertile world with lush greenery, soaring mountains and azure seas, which, at the time of the [[Great Crusade]], had achieved a black powder level of technology. The dominant Chogorian empire at the time of the Great Crusade was an organized organised aristocracy which had conquered most of the planet with well-equipped and highly disciplined armies. Armoured horsemen and densely packed blocks of infantry had won every campaign their ruler, the [[Palatine (Chogoris)|Palatine]], had fought.{{Cite Marker End}}
To the west of the Palatine's empire was a vast, wind-blown steppe, known as the Empty Quarter, home to nomadic tribes of savage horsemen who for centuries had roamed the vast grasslands. The tribes of the steppes lived in tents and followed a cycle of seasonal migration from summer pastures to protected winter valleys in the [[Khum Karta mountains]]. Consummate horsemen and archers, these disparate tribes frequently fought one another for control of ancestral pastureland. Chogorian armies had never invaded the Empty Quarter as the dry and desolate lands were of no value to the Palatine. However, Chogorian nobles would often lead hunting bands into the steppes and take whole tribes east as slaves or capture a lone tribesmen to hunt through the mountains for sport.{{Cite Marker End}}
