History

Known as the “City of Sorcerers”, Qohor is the gateway to the overland trade routes across the Dothraki Sea. While not a quick as the sea routes and extremely dangerous, the overland trade routes avoid the hefty toll that ships must pay to pass through the Jade Gates held by Qarth. While Qohor has a sinister reputation, this is due to the god of Qohor, the Black Goat of Qohor, requiring constant blood sacrifice, it holds a highly enlightened and educated society.

Due to the requirement for blood sacrifice animals and prisoners are valuable commodities to sale to the traders. In addition, Qohor is a vital supplier of lumber to both Volantis and Slaver’s Bay. The Qohorik smiths are legendary and are capable of reworking Valyrian steel, perhaps a talented smith may gain access to these secrets and forge their own Valyrian weapons.

Location

Qohor is a strategic location due to its location, resources, and knowledge. This is not lost on the Qohorik leaders and they keep a strong contingent of Unsullied Warriors from Astapor to protect their city from the Dothraki. In the past a mere 3,000 Unsullied shattered a Khalasar of 25,000, in an event known as the “Three Thousand of Qohor.”

Religion

The sacred god of the city of Qohor, the Black Goat has a voracious appetite for blood requiring daily blood sacrifices of animals, criminals, or prisoners. The Black Goat is revered as the protector of Qohor and at the city’s most dire moments, hundreds are sacrificed to receive the Black Goat’s blessing. It is said during the stand of the Three thousand, that more of Qohor’s slaves and citizens perished as sacrifices than the number of Unsullied killed.

Gaining favor with the Black Goat will be easy, unless you wear easily stained clothing, all you must do is sacrifice prisoners or deliver animals to a temple for slaughter. To a devout follower, or butcher, the Black Goat may offer some of his divine protection.

Troop Tree

Qohor is widely made up of cultists, with varying skill and equipment. Their Black Goat warriors later in their tree are superb infantry, however their cavalry and semi decent archers are locked further down the line. Qohor leans heavily towards an infantry focus, with most their men being foot soldiers.

Recruiting units from Qohor

Qohor units can be recruited from villages regardless of player status unless they are hostile to Qohor. Additional ways to recruit Qohor units is to rescue them from enemy lords parties, find them in taverns, or rescue them from enemy garrisons.
