Varash

Back

Varash is the subterranean "kingdom" of the Drow and Duergar, collectively referred to as the darkened peoples. Made in accordance with Lilante's faith, Varash is absent of any official law, allowing any person to come into power and enforce their own laws. In Varash all people are equal and free to do whatever they wish, but that also includes the freedom to create law or take away freedom (slavery). Usually whomever is in charge of an area, typically whomever has the most power (troops, magic, etc.), creates the laws for that area. The structure of Varash is fluid and often results in many changes in government, individuals often come in and out of power quickly. Because of this Varash uses many different currency systems and dialects of undercommon.

Despite the lack of consistency in government, this society seems to favor drowish females as leaders, who often have the most resources. This may be traced back to the fact that Lilante is feminine of nature or may stem back to the initial creation of the "country". Regardless, there is a stigma (mostly from Drow) against leaders who are not Drow females.

There isn't an official religion of Varash though one may be imposed by a leader of an area, however it's inhabitants favor those of a demonic nature due to their pursuit of power and earthly pleasure, making celestial religions much less common.
