Culture and Locations
Undin is a city-state in the southwestern corner of Batur. It is ruled by a zhadas chieftain who acts as both a king and a warlord, with a Sunkhu shaman to advise his rule and keep everyone in touch with their ancestors. Sunkhu shamanism emphasises that everyone must atone for the wrongdoings of their ancestors by bringing honour and glory to their clans and keeping bad spirits at bay. Undins are typically unemotional people, renowned for their coldness, even in the face of tragedy. The heart of the city-state is Dhaq.
Undin's shores are temperate grassland, with the mountains inland covered in subtropical rainforest at lower altitudes and montane forest at higher altitudes. The Butusi lies in the middle of Undin, the Heder Sea lies to the southeast, and the Sea of Ash lies to the southwest. The Rodar River flows into Dhaq from the westernmost end of the Great Opal Ranges.
