Izuz may be human, or may once have been human, but this is not known for certain one way or another. He has ruled the land at the southern tip of the Wolfshaunt Mountains near the Dragon's Pond for ages longer than any man can live. These lands are steeped in wickedness and evil, so much so that the otherwise fearless bandits pass near the wilds of the Endless Forest rather than enter the merest edge of the Land of Izuz. For a time the land was leaderless, for Izuz himself was missing. For many decades the evil of the place was in relative quietude for lack of evil direction, and the neighbors of good ilk prospered. Izuz had been trapped by a mad wizard, locked away in a strange chamber in the Sands of Time. He was released in 815TA, and once again Izuz rules and his forces gather for fell purpose.

The Land of Izuz is the most remote of the minor kingdoms of the Reaches. A small valley at the extreme southern tip of the Wolfshaunt Mountains near the Dragon's Pond, this valley is the only one of a chain of forested valleys that opens to the plains of the southern Reaches.

The land is ruled by Izuz, a mysterious figure of legend. Izuz may be human, or may once have been human, but nothing is known for certain. By all accounts Izuz is a wizard, although his name does not appear in the records of the Collegium Magicium. The earliest legends tell that a man identifying himself as Izuz stumbled into Harrowport in 815 TA, telling a tale that he had just escaped being locked away in a strange chamber in the Sands of Time.

Later that same year, and just two years prior to the siege of Harrowport by the Crown, Izuz made extensive purchases of building equipment and supplies - leaving Harrowport for the wooded valley that now bears his name. Shortly after his departure, a letter was delivered to the Governor of Harrowport declaring the valley off limits to all travel and trade.

Since that time, Izuz has ruled the land seemingly without aging. Izuz is a fanatically private man, and there are no known subjects in the land. The few explorers that have traveled to Izuz report a land steeped in wickedness and evil. Reports of lumber camps and mines filled with the shuffling bodies of the undead are unfounded.
