Dominion(s): War, Conquering, Sacrifice and Slaves
Appearance: The skin of Yilig Cro is sewn together from the peoples he has conquered with his horde, the Indra Idris. His hair, intricately braided in varying styles is the color of dried blood. His heavily tattooed face is passive, even in the heat of battle. The tattoos are patterns only and change at his leisure. He carries a spear of bone with an obsidian blade, a golden double-edged shortsword named "Endless" and a long whip with 700 barbs on the tongue. His golden armor is ornate with pyramidal patterns of interlocking mail. He wears grieves and simple sandals. Sometimes carries a simple golden round shield that he can summon from thin air in an instant.
Personality:Yilig Cro is demanding of his people, the Indra Idris. Obedience and ritual are of the utmost importance to Yilig and demands almost continuous warring. Although strict, he is hardly passionate, instead presenting edicts with a passive and inhuman temperament. He speaks only with his priesthood, the Cro.
Powers: Yilig can increase his height to 60 feet-anything on his body (weapons,armor etc.) changes accordingly. He has superhuman strength, endurance and sight and smell. He feels no pain or emotion.
Magic Items: "Vel" The Bone Spear can kill crops and shake the foundations of man-made structures. "Endless" Ritual Shortsword can be wielded only by Yilig-Cro. 'Endless' can return to life the last person it killed for a short time. These 'slaves' are completely under Yilig-Cros control.
Mortality: Yilig-Cro will die if his priesthood is wiped out and his temples destroyed
Terrain:Indra Idris is a mire of steamy jungles, rivers, isolated mountains and dark canyons. It is rainy, disease infested land with little in the way of cleared, ariable soil. Some small coastline provides fish and safe harbor. The land being the inhospitable bitch that it is prevents any major trade. Any cultural influence from the outside world is gained through returning conquerors.
Wildlife:Mostly plague creatures;insects, snakes and rodents. Very troublesome to those that don't know how to deal with them. The Indra Idris are very skilled at dealing with poison/disease/pestilience.
Species:The largest mammal is the albino-tusked elephant used famously in Indra Idris armored cavalry. Legend has it Yilig-Cro stole the elephant from distant lands in one of his conquests. The most dangerous is either the Purple Jaguar, a solo hunter that lives deep in the jungles and whose blood can portent the future, or the Widowing Viper whose poison can increase your lifespan (if you survive the dose).
Culture:The Idris are a diminutive, subjugated people ruled by Yilig-Cros priesthood. The Priest caste are taller, more muscular people with better quality of life. The Idris are the common foot-soldiers, merchants and workers. They have no written word and rely on the priesthood (called the Cro) for administration and direction in battle. The Cro direct official state policy and enforce Yiligs will.
The Cro priesthood are the heavily armored commanders in battle and mortal voice of Yilig. They enforce his will among the masses and work up the armies in a zealous fury before battle. Legends in their own right, they carry enchanted weapons and armor into battle. Balam Po, chief priestess of Yilig wears a gold helm the shape of a snakes head. She carries a spear and hand axe and is accompanied by her 23 naked slaves into every battle, a human shield of innocence; Yilig-Cro approves.
The Albino Tusked Elephant cavalry is more for shock than true tactical advantage. Although it is hard to break a charge of 100 or more elephants. They cause chaos and havoc in battle-leaving room for the seemingly endless foot soldiers to wade into enemy lines. The Indra Idris are not afraid to die and Yilig-Cro demands it of them often.
Capital: The city of Ganva lies next to Mount Agni and straddles the River Ipe, the largest river in Indra Idris. The pyramids and temples of Ganva can be seen from any part of Indra Idris. Stone ziggurats emerge from the tropical jungle, painted in bright warm tone colors (often red, often blood). Small forts form a perimeter around the city, and canals provide quick travel within the metropolitan area. Barges of priests and their executions ply the hot vapid waters, carefully carrying the entrails and corpses to the temples for further rites.
Important Individuals: Balam Po, Chief Priestess to Yilig-Cro, Tabay, Leader of the Idris in Ganva
