Gamb

Gamb
The "Land of Gamb" as it is often referred to sits atop the vast plateau to the North-East of Tol

It is separated from Tol by the sloping Black Forest of Gamb, a dense forested mountain range the Goblins call home.

Gamb is largely mysterious, at least to the inhabitants of Tol, as the only way to reach it is through the dangerous Black Forest, which also entails passing through the Goblin territories. There is a near complete lack of communication and contact between Gamb and Tol, minor trade only facilitated by the trickle of goods from Goblins to mostly Galenite traders.

Beyond the Black Forest, Gamb is a mix of hilly steppe land interspersed with boreal forests, inhabited by the likes of Ogres, and jaguar-like Atroxi.

Ogres
Ogres are often seen by outsiders as quintessentially Gamb. They live most of their lives in groups of between 4-8, hunting anything and everything, roaming within their territorial boundaries.

Atroxi
The Atroxi of Gamb have much darker fur tones than their eastern jungle dwelling cousins, resembling Lynx, Cougars, and Snow Leopards. They are generally shorter, but more muscular and with denser bones than their Ekuka cousins. Living mostly nomadic lives, Gamb Atroxi travel in small clans, staying mostly within the boundaries of the boreal forests.

Vashata
Immensely dangerous, few see a Vashata and live to tell the tale. They live mostly solitary lives, but are nonetheless highly intelligent. No prey is too large for a Vashata, who are equally as content hunting the bulbous Ogres as they are smaller, easier, prey.

Goblins
After Ogres, goblins are the peoples most associated with Gamb by the inhabitants of Tol, largely owing to their dominance over the Black Forest linking the two continents.

Centaur

Most Centaurs of Gamb live in relatively small familial herds of mares lead by a single stallion, with new males leaving the herd at maturity and roaming as individuals or banding together with others to form all male herds. Centaurs, whilst intelligent, have little interest in kingdoms or civilisation building, and roam thea vast open territories of Gamb's steppe.
