Kingdom of Oromar

The Oromar are widely considered the second most powerful kingdom in Colae before and after the Imperial War. Prior to the formation of the Empire, the Oromar had regularly invaded their neighbors, the Westlanders and Mothev, but could never permanently keep territory far from the border due political shifting and harsh rulership.

The Oromar are the only other culture in Colae to assign spiritual significance to the Dark Forest. It had been used as a test of strength for warriors interested in increasing their prestige to enter the Forest and return with tales of horrible beasts slain and phantoms encountered, though they rarely returned. Of the fraction that did return, a fraction of those returned with tales of seeing other humans.

One such of these warriors, Vidar Elovsson, the last known warrior to enter the Dark Forest before the Imperial War, saw the great armies of the Vezoskie and warned the kingdom, buying it precious time to gather fighters from around the kingdom.
