== Background ==


UMAR should not be confused with the city of Umar , the UMAR kingdom is a loose grouping of criminals and killers of Vadean heritage that live past the Northern Range Mountains, technically part of Vadea this loose federation of would be states and chiefdoms fight each other, the Vadean Army and on occasion the Ork although it is believed they maintain a mutually beneficial truce allowing the Ork to attack Vadean towns and cities unhindered.   

Although technically not referred to as King the position of Grand Master First Lord of Marradan is considered to be the same. With power comes danger, the title is not dissimilar to that of a hereditary kingship although the blade comes first in politics, rule is divided amongst the 9 Religious War Clans and self proclaimed despots that make up the so called nobility in the north. Power is held by only one and although there is technically no set period or term the position is held with money and violence by any one member of that group.

City is the seat of power to the nominal chiefdom of Canister, ruled by Calban the Gutter and home to the Red Fleet , as part of the 9 Calban controls the lands of the Black Peninsular. .
