Deep in the Boundless Jungle, in the westernmost region, just before the Izptqondo Mountains separate the jungle from the seas, lies Mozumbo Home.  This is a major city and the capital of the Mozumbo tribe.  The Mozumbo tribe learned mining (first of copper, then iron) early on.  They have always been superior to their enemies in technology and have built a huge city.  There are rumors of this city in the north, but no one believes that the nomadic Turgors have a major city hidden in the jungle and that they are probably as technologically advanced as the dwarves.  Instead, they are seen as savages, because many of the Turgor tribes are nomadic and more than a little savage.

Well-armed sentry units are hidden everywhere in the jungle.  The typical defense is to build a small stone fort and then encourage the jungle to grow over it, camouflaging it from everyone.  Roads are few and well-guarded due to small rivers filled with dangerous fish and thick jungles that resist cutting.  The Mozumbo trade for salt and preserved foods, but they have a huge city that grows most of its own food along with the major hunting expeditions.  The king is an autocrat.  Despite his power, his royal line has been taught the failure of expanding the kingdom.  Too large a jungle kingdom allows the lesser lords to defy the king.  This has happened several times in the tribe’s history, so they stay together as one city-state.
