Mal Oran

Once, before the Roaming Rage, Mal Oran was a beautiful land, diverse in its ecology and rich in resources. After Naj transformed the earth in order to shape his followers into the first tieflings, most of what remained was a blighted earth, pock marked with cracks, littered with withered trees that could never truly die, lakes with toxic water, common game that mutated into a frenzy and a twisting magic in the air that fools the very senses.

Since that day, the people of Mal Oran - mostly tieflings - resolved to rebuild rather than flee to greener pastures. Over the following decades, magic both arcane and divine was used to restore life to tiny pockets of land, which held the eventual promise of growing food. These plots are well tended, protected and constantly tested and observed. The people knew, however, that this alone would not be enough to survive in the short term. One discovery would soon begin to change their fortunes: oil. No one knew what they had when the substance was first uncovered, but its benefit as an energy source could not go unnoticed for long.

Oil fundamentally changed Mal Oran's industry. With it, the tieflings were able to set great forges that enabled the quick manufacture of steel products, from wheel cogs to weapons. They offered mass production contracts to any Barony that needed things made, which resulted in a quick influx of coin. That coin allowed Mal Oran to construct larger oil harvesters all over the Barony, which has become a defining feature of the landscape. The coin also ensured the ability to feed its people and soon the tieflings and the Barony reclaimed its identity. Now it is a nation of budding industry, with full coffers and a people using every day to elevate themselves above the shame that followed them for over a century. The Barony's access to resources, however, had outpaced its means of fully capitalizing on them. For a non-tiefling, life in Mal Oran is strange at best and impossible at worst due to the sense twisting magic in the air. This limits the labor pool and relies on rapid birth rates, which is not something the tieflings have yet embraced.
