+A large expansive desert on the western half of Olnmal, [[polemos:4th_age:locations:the_void|the Void]] was named by the local tribes that inhabit it.
 Named for its utter lack of landmarks or hospitality, it is said that those entering the wastelands are driven mad by the demons that roam it.

 ===== Government =====
-==== The Black Sun ====
+==== God-Emperor ====
-The Black Sun is the God-Emperor's personal intelligence service, and is tasked with finding and eliminating any disloyalty in the hierarchy.  Known to be merciless and seemingly omnipresent, they often pay or demand subjects to spy on their neighbors, friends, or even family members.  The Black Sun is also responsible for tracking down escaped slaves if the Black Guard loses their trail - though this occurrence is usually accompanied by the Black Sun targeting those who allowed the disgrace to happen in the first place.
+The God-Emperor, who claims to be immortal, rules the Olnmal Empire as sole sovereign and dictator.
+Legend says he was not born in the usual way, but a spirit combined from all the greatest heroes across time.
+A group of Olnmal shamans merged their souls together to call this spirit and embody him in the physical realm.
+That he sometimes seems to change appearance across the years is a topic that his subjects have learned not to express out loud.

 ===== Political Divisions =====
 Olnmal has no formal provinces, but rather ever-shifting duchies who gain and lose land as the God-Emperor wills it.
 ===== Foreign Relations =====
-Olnmal as a rule has a very isolationist stance with foreign countries.  The paranoia and distrust that plagues the upper parts of The Heirarchy breed similar feelings about outside "corruption" of the system.
