General Description of the Region: The region known locally as Porovdya (or simply 'the south', or sometimes 'over there' by the Udani) is dominated by Mountains (generally not exceeding 10,000 feet, or 3000 meters) alpine meadows and lakes. It is the southern frontier of the northern evergreen Taiga, with abundant Elk, Bear, and other wildlife. The region effectively stretches far to the west, where the Slave Road from the West emerges from the T'chuck T'chi plateau and threads between the 'Roof of the Wold Mountains' and the Porovdya. It also acts as a natural barrier between the endless Short-Grass Sea, and the T'Chuck T'Chi wastes. It can be argued that the river valleys of Udan and Lake Bing-Mau are simply exceptional outposts in this large mountainous region.
The area we are concerned with centers around lake Porovdya which takes its name from and ancient ruin thought to be Urdui in nature. This region lies to the south of Udan proper, and is served by a few trade routs that wind through various passes between Udan and the T'chuck T'chi wastes to the south.
The region no longer contains a significant human presence. Rather it is almost entirely populated by clans of the Lupine (werewolves, but don't say that to their faces).
Clans:
Nimsky
Gordaya
Skivnya
Volohov

NPC's of Note:
Vasili Nimsky - Vasili is the current High King (Grand Emperor and Pontiff as he calls himself) of the Porovdya Lupine clans.
Vanya Nimsky - Has currently eloped or run off (if you prefer) with Peotr Prednya. It should be noted that Vasili and Gregori don't generally get along.
Peotyr Prednya - First in line to succeed Gregori Prednya. However he has other sons, and his latest antics with Vanya has upset his father significantly.
Gregori Prednya - Head of the Prednya clan.
Jhou-fu - The oft mentioned 'naked druid'. He has a hut in the middle of the ruins of Porovdya where he keeps and eye on an old ruined Temple, and generally tries to maintain the natural order of the region. He is currently working to undermine the Nimsky as he feels it is unnatural for a werewolf clan to build a fortified city of all things.
Villains:
Erdene Alta - A female T'Chuck T'chi Sorceress recently defeated by a group employed by Lord Sze Chou-gu. Her notes were taken from the bedroom of Vasili Nimsky. These notes reveal that she was the point of contact for 4 groups of T'chuck T'chi within the Udani region. She was in charge of the group tasked with subverting the Lupine. One group was scheduled to retrieve an artifact to help enhance Onggiran's power. The third group was assigned to find the 'Buried Host of Chervenog'. The Final group was tasked to infiltrate Udan itself.
Batu Onggiran - mentioned by Erdene Alta as her Lord. Exact standing in T'chuck T'chi society and his overall goals are unknown.
