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 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
