{{Tsrwotc}} In the ''[[Greyhawk|World of Greyhawk]]'' [[campaign setting]] for the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' role-playing game, the '''Empire of Iuz''' is a vast [[Wikipedia:Empire|empire]] ruled by the demigod [[Iuz]]. ==History== ==Geography== ==People== ==Government== The Empire of Iuz is classified by the ''Living Greyhawk Gazetteer'' as an "[[Wikipedia:Empire|imperial]] [[Wikipedia:Theocracy|theocratic]] [[Wikipedia:Dictatorship|dictatorship]]." Though Iuz holds all power, his rule is inconsistent. Iuz's [[priesthood]] and other spellcasters manage the affairs of the empire in his name. Iuz and his servants have more control over some regions of the empire than others. The capital of the empire is the city of [[Dorakaa]]. ==Administrative Divisions== The Empire of Iuz consists of five loosely-defined political regions, though they are not considered actual provinces. ===Land of Iuz=== Also called the ''Homeland of Iuz'', this region lies mainly between the [[Dulsi River|Dulsi]] and [[Opicim River]]s, south of the [[Cold Marshes]], and north of [[Whyestil Lake]]. ===Bandit Lands=== Once referred to as the [[Bandit Kingdoms]], this region lies west of the [[Zumker River|Zumker]] and [[Artonsamay river]]s, east of the [[Ritensa River]], and is bounded in part by the [[Fellreev Forest]] and [[Bluff Hills]]. This region is actually made up of a number of warlord fiefs. ===Barren Lands=== These grasslands south of the [[Icy Sea]] and the [[Wastes (Greyhawk)|Wastes]] are also known as the [[Barrens (Greyhawk)|Barrens]], the Barren Plains, or the Northern Barrens. North of the Bandit Lands, the Barrens' eastern border is formed by the [[Forlorn Forest]], western [[Griff Mountains]], and the Bluff Hills. Their western border is formed by the Cold Marshes and Opicim River. Once ruled by the [[nomadic]] [[Flan]] tribes known as the [[Rovers of the Barrens]], these people are but a shadow of their former glory. ===[[Horned Lands]]=== This region is bound by Whyestil Lake, the [[Veng River|Veng]] and Ritensa Rivers, and the Fellreev Forest. These lands were for a time ruled by the [[Horned Society]], before Iuz once again took control during the [[Greyhawk Wars]]. ===[[Shield Lands]]=== Bordered by the Ritensa river, [[Nyr Dyv]], and [[Rift Barrens]], this land was ruled before the Greyhawk Wars by the [[chivalrous]] order known as the [[Knights of Holy Shielding]]. Though a western portion of the Shield Lands were reclaimed in the [[Great Northern Crusade]] of 586-588, the majority of the area is still under Iuz's control. ==References== *[[David Cook|Cook, David]].
