Khozhn'ol

From Codex Vocrotha

One of the larger continents of Vocroth, Khozhn'ol lies in a tropical to equatorial zone, and so much of its landmass is arid desert. While both the Drakkhozhn and the Dolgothros originally called Khozhn'ol home, the first Drakkhozhn Emperor, Kessht'takkh, incited a genocidal crusade against the shapeshifters and all but drove them from the continent. Very few external conflicts have played out on Khozhn'ol, as the Drakkhozhn Empire has an extremely powerful military force, but some few clan-based wars have broken out over the history of the Empire.

Khozhn'ol is home to an unusual geographical feature, the Bright Desert, an area of absolute desolation where nothing can live. Interestingly, the Drakkhozhn Empire posts guards along the perimeter of the desert, though the reasons are unknown, even to those who guard there.

Khozhn'ol was named by the Drakkhozhn in their tongue; the name, loosely translated, means 'Home of the People.'
