The Gorbesh: A militaristic, conquering race are the Gorbesh -- they brought about an Empire in [[Albaria]], taking up the legacy of the [[Luethra]]. Tall, bulky, and powerful, the Gorbesh are expert warriors, boat-builders, and sailors. The Gorbesh are also extremely religious, relying upon astrology and prophecy in their Empire. In recent times, a group shot off from the main Gorbesh society -- the Kaldar seek to return to the purer, natural lives their people lived long ago. |

The Tribes
Prior to the arrival of Xin'Alaudas, the Gorbesh were a tribal people with their first mention in the Luethra records of the Fourth Age. The three major tribes were the Beuven, Ilat, and Lakixeq. It was only in the period after Xin'Alaudas unified the tribes that they began to build cities. As they gained power, they allied with the Iyqaromos Gnomes, who joined them in the major city of Eimitek, where the gnomes became fully integrated and ceded their lands to the Gorbesh. From this point onward, the Gorbesh became a threat to the Luethra, eventually capturing New Albbabridlaen, and by 1385BL, they had destroyed the Endian Nation.
Alaudian Empire
The Gorbesh are the primary inhabitants of Albaria, having formed the Alaudian Empire in 1383 BL, under the strong arm and guidance of Xin'Alaudas. Originating in the forests of central-eastern Albaria, they rose to overthrow the Endian Nation. In this they took up the mantle of the Luethra, however unlike their predecessors, they moved to exterminate most of the other Albarian Races. They are an extremely religious race, with a high reliance upon astrology and prophecy. However, in the last century BL, a splinter group called the Kaldar formed in opposition to increasing urbanism with a desire to return to the purer, natural lives lived by the Gorbesh in earlier ages. In appearance the Gorbesh (and Kaldar) are tall, bulky, and powerful. They are expert warriors, boat-builders, sailors, and are a militaristic and conquering race.
Threats to the Gorbesh
The Alaudian Empire faces continual threat from the Ocular in the misty southwestern reaches of Albaria. In the north they fought against the Adamantian Dwarves for centuries, launched attacks against the S'Kra Mur Rathan Kings, invaded the Seven Star Empire, and more recently forced a bridge-head across the Dark Hand and invaded Kermoria from the south. This latter time was known as the Red Winter. The invading Gorbesh army built forts and temporary encampments throughout Ilithi, Zoluren, and Therengia. Their army included Gorbesh Outriders, Scouts, Line Soldiers, Soldiers, Catapults, Enchanters, Mages, Battle Spheres, Captains, Commanders, and the rare General.
Language
Gorbesh also refers to the language of the Alaudian Empire, spoken primarily by the Gorbesh, Kaldar, and the Gnomes.
