Part of [[the Hub]]
Chamhok Mun was a strange [[domain]] where [[human]]s and [[naga]]s lived side by side as equals, rather than adversaries or thrall and master. This was primarily due to the influence of the [[curse]] of [[Heol Jon-Woo]]'s, its darklord.<ref name=NBp9>[[Nebula Obscura]] p.9</ref>
 
==Biology==
 
 
==Geography==
Chamhok Mun is thirty-five miles from north to south, twenty from west to east. The domain is split into two different facets: to the north is the town of Haejong, which sits on lush, forested land. At the opposite end lies Ginjae, another town amidst a wasteland of rock and small, hardy plant life.
 
Between the two seemingly different worlds is a massive solid wall of unknown building material measuring over forty feet high and just as thick, with an elaborately carved gate at its center.
 
==Authority==
Each of the two towns has its own hereditary governor, who controls his dominion as he sees fit. In Haejong, overseers make sure that things run smoothly, and infractions have their corresponding penalty or punishment. Ginjae is for all events and purposes a small monastic village amid a barren wilderness, ruled over by what everybody calls an abbess. She and her naga postulants try to make the best out of bad conditions through farming and mining.
 
==Language & Culture==
The folk of Chamhok Mun, both human and naga, find beauty and inspiration in the simplicity of life and nature around them. Like
most humanoid societies they are deeply familial, and they give respect to their elders (in many cases regardless of species).
 
Haejong's inhabitants tend to live as aristocrats, with numerous servants tending orchards and fields of rice. Ginjae's folk, on the
other hand, do their own work, carving out a living in the wasteland that surrounds them. Both towns, however, believe in the industrious concept of hongik inggan, which teaches one to be useful for the greater good.
 
==Gods & Religion==
The naga goddess, Omma Sup, is worshipped by Chamhok Mun's population is a neutral deity.  


Aside from the Crystal Serpent, her other titles include the Scaled Mother, the Queen Benefactress and She Who Heals
At the same time Chamhok Mun had an unusual unity to it, the domain was also divided. A wall split Chamhok Mun into two territories. The side dominated by the [[community]] of Haejong had rich natural resources afforded by a verdant [[forest]]. However, the side dominated by Ginjae only had stunted plantlife and rocky, infertile terrain.<ref name=NBp7>[[Nebula Obscura]] p.7</ref> Heol Jon-Woo exacerbated these differences and played both sides against each other.<ref name=NBp9>[[Nebula Obscura]] p.9</ref>
with Venom. Most scholars in Chamhok Mun believe that Omma Sup was the first of their kind, and thus is worthy of respect and praise from her descendants.


Chamhok Mun tradition holds that Omma Sup was born out of light and earth, and that her countless eggs gave life to the barren world. She is generally a nature goddess, but natives offer to her many attributes

Chamhok Mun was a strange domain where humans and nagas lived side by side as equals, rather than adversaries or thrall and master. This was primarily due to the influence of the curse of Heol Jon-Woo's, its darklord.[4]

At the same time Chamhok Mun had an unusual unity to it, the domain was also divided. A wall split Chamhok Mun into two territories. The side dominated by the community of Haejong had rich natural resources afforded by a verdant forest. However, the side dominated by Ginjae only had stunted plantlife and rocky, infertile terrain.[1] Heol Jon-Woo exacerbated these differences and played both sides against each other.[4]

Sadly, what joy the domain had was not to last. Lady Yee Jin, a daughter of the local governor who was murdered by Heol Jon-Woo [4], returned from the grave and killed Heol Jon-Woo. Observing the seemingly profane presence of nagas living among humans, Lady Jin launched a campaign of genocide against them. She became the temporal ruler of the domain and has ruled as a tyrant ever since then. The domain is no longer Chamhok Mun, but instead Chonyo Egurimja[5]

Publication History

Chamhok Mun was initially created for the Nebula Obscura by Dion Fernandez in 2003. In 2012, he revisited and revised the domain's history and pushed it forward at least 200 years. He called this revised domain Chonyo Egurimja.
