The Meat Lands are the meat nation of Calorum, located on the northern border. After the unification in the aftermath of the Ravening War, they became ruled by the warlord of the beef clans, Basha Myaso.

Locations[]

  • Carn (capital)
  • Chili Sea
  • Land of the Great Cow
  • Sangre River

Description[]

The Meat Lands is a stark, beautiful land of bones and red fields of meat. It is a classic 'barbarian' nation.

Meatlanders are a proud, noble people. Basha Myaso, the warlord of the beef clans, resides in the giant metropolis city of Carn. The sort of vibe they give off is that they don’t organize their armies as efficiently, but there's an attitude of ‘one Meatlander can defeat a hundred Ceresian soldiers'.

Wildlife within the Meat Lands includes massive, trunked and tusked mammoth monsters, which live in the far north. It's warriors wear bone armor with giant gladiator weapons. Some weapons are also made of bacon steel.

The Meat Lands' culture is modeled after ancient Celts.

Government and Religion[]

The Meat Lands doesn't really have a national identity, as individuals there are much more likely to define their loyalty by family, clan, and faith than by nationality. Meatlanders have clan delineations based on bloodline and their worship/propitiation of the Great Beasts, which is a pagan, polytheistic faith. Warfare between various clans goes back centuries and centuries, so while some Meatlanders might feel kinship with other Meatlanders over outsiders, it's just as common for a given Meatlander to feel the most animosity to a member of an enemy meat clan.

The Great Beasts[]

A major source of conflict within the Meat Lands is that there are far fewer members of the Bulbian Church than other nations. Instead, they hold to their more primal, ancestral faith in the Great Beasts, who are the great animals that make up meat, from which the members of the Meat Lands clans are descended. Meatlanders do not eat each other, but do have an understanding that they are all food, even though there are no human beings walking around eating them. They use this belief as a religious conviction and manifests in their faith in the Great Beasts. For example, a hot dog or a steak would be descended from the Great Cow or Great Boar, even if they've never seen a real cow or pig before.

The most popular of these deities to worship are the Great Cow, the Great Boar, and the Great Hen, though there are many more, such as the Great Squid.

Trivia[]

  • '"The Meat Lands" is an exonym, which is why it's so distinct from the other place names! That's what people outside the Meat Lands call them!' Brennan Lee Mulligan
  • Eggs, which is both a non-meat animal product and a source of protein that doesn't require killing an animal, would likely live as a coastal tribal consortium straddling the Meat Lands and the Dairy Islands. [1]
