-Located along the northern ridges of the [[Abjurer ​Mountains]],​ Kresh is not a [[wp>​Nation State]] as many of the nations on [[Miran]] are becoming. Instead it is land currently occupied by escaped [[lore:​Karellian]] slaves that the [[Turan]] brought to the eastern shore of Miran when they conquered ​the [[lore:Carthins]]. While a few other slaves have also come into the mountains seeking shelter, the majority of the population are Karellians.+Located along the northern ridges of the [[atlas:​Anor ​Mountains]],​ Kresh is not a [[wp>​Nation State]] as many of the nations on [[Miran]] are becoming.

 The lands the Karellian slaves claimed as their own is named for the [[Kreshian Valley]] that runs through this mountainous region. Over the long history of Miran, several [[creatures:​human]] cultures have settled in this valley known for its rich farmland and ample rivers. None of these cultures survived due to the [[Jula Volcano]] and the north-north-east running [[wp>​Fissure Vents]]. Aside from ash and magma caused by the eruptions the water and sky are often poisoned by [[wp>​Volcanic gas]]. The lands the Karellian slaves claimed as their own is named for the [[Kreshian Valley]] that runs through this mountainous region.

-When the first Karellian slaves fled into these lands they had been inhabited by humans for hundreds of years as the [[lore:Carthins]], who once lived on the plains now occupied by the Turanians, considered the land evil and cursed. While the Turanians cared little for the customs of the primitive Carthins, the land was ill-suited to their horsemen that they employed to chase down slaves. The mountains gave the slaves plenty of caves in which to hide and good sources of both water and vegetation.+When the first Karellian slaves fled into these lands they had been inhabited by humans for hundreds of years as the [[orgs:carthins]], who once lived on the plains now occupied by the Turanians, considered the land evil and cursed.

 As more Karellian slaves arrived the first villages were constructed. The Karellians fears being taken as slaves by the Turanians, so the villages were built high in the mountains. The Karellians used crevices, ropes, bridges, and simplistic elevators to move from the farms on the valley floor to the mountains. It was in these villages where the Karellians rebuilt their culture that the Turanians worked so hard to destroy. As more Karellian slaves arrived the first villages were constructed.

-The Tiger (Fire), Ram (Earth), ​[[creatures:​Qilin]] (Metal), Serpent (Water), and Monkey (Wood) - these are the five guardians along the path to true enlightenment. The Tiger represents strength, the Ram is determination,​ the Qilin is humility, the Serpent is power, and the Monkey is clever. Upon the death of one of the Five Master their disciples will gather before the guardians and stay there for five (5) days. On sunset of the fifth day the guardians will choose a new Master.+The Tiger (Fire), Ram (Earth), Qilin (Metal), Serpent (Water), and Monkey (Wood) - these are the five guardians along the path to true enlightenment.
