=== On [[Ezheret]] ===

The Tumeroks call their home world [[Ezheret-Hazahtu]], although they only live on the body they call [[Ezheret]]. This requires some explanation. While a sun does rise and fall in the sky, Ezheret actually orbits another, larger planet called [[Hazahtu]]. Hazahtu, or “The Blind Eye,” is an enormous, cloud-shrouded grey-blue orb. Legend holds that when the eye of Hazahtu loses its occlusion, the Tumeroks will be judged for their stewardship of the world.<ref name=AC:DMBestiaryTumerok>2001/11 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[AC:DM_CD_Lore/Bestiary/Derethian_Bestiary#Tumeroks|Bestiary: Tumeroks]]</ref>

Ezheret is hot, humid, and prone to extended periods of foul weather. Gales and hurricanes are frequent, perhaps due to the unusual sparseness of dry land. The Tumerok tribes are spread across myriad archipelagos, separated by hours or days of journey by boat. <ref name=AC:DMBestiaryTumerok/>

The Tumeroks share Ezheret with the scavenger [[Drudge]]s, as well as the perpetually warring [[Banderling]]s and [[Mosswart]]s.<ref name=AC:DMBestiaryTumerok/> <ref name=TheoriesofEzheret/>
During Asheron's visit to the Moon of Ezheret, he mentions that the Tonk appeared to have seen Empyreans before, several of their structures appeared to be influenced by the architecture once prominent on Ireth Lassel, though certainly more crude and rudimentary. The basis for their art and their understanding of magic as a tribal gift from the gods that sang throughout the cosmos, as they referred to the suns, was also reminiscent of the Empyreans first steps into grasping magical talents. <ref name=TheoriesofEzheret/>
