Dur Untash is the mountain stronghold of a particularly devout sect of the church of Zyphus that (allegedly) covertly plans and executes assassinations around the world. Though they sometimes accept payment for their services, these Zyphen zealots view their activities as a religious calling and the height of service to their god.
Geography, flora, and fauna
The Untashan fortresses lie amongst the mountains of the Shields, located at easily defensible heights. The landscape of the Taizzan Expanse to the west is significantly warmer than the more temperate foothills and mountain peaks. Though an uncommon occurrence, enough rain falls in the hills to support a variety of plants and animals.

Relations
Dur Untash maintains no official relations with any nation. Most consider the Untashans little more than rather organized cultists.
The Zyphens have clashed with the orcs of Kudurru in the past, and relations continue to be unfriendly. The castle the orcs refer to as Fort Vulture was once an Untashan outpost before it was conquered in Y6539.
