Ordâkh, often called "the Great Southern Empire of Ordâkh" is a nation far south of Umbar, in the lands of Jarmát. One hundred years ago, it invaded the lands of Shagâna and forced its people into service to the Church of the All-seeing. The Ordâkhai subjugated the Shagâni, forcefully conscripting them into war for Sauron, the All-Seeing. Kâlach Hûl, the Ordâkhai emperor, was killed at the Battle of Pelennor Fields by King Théoden of Rohan, and shortly thereafter, Sauron was destroyed when the One Ring was cast into the fires of Mount Doom.

Almost immediately, the Umbari and the Shagâni threw off the yokes of their oppressors, staging rebellions aross the land. The Kindred of the Coins staged a coup, ousting the Ordâkhai and the Church from Umbar Baharbêl and taking control of the city. Girhâzi and the women of Iridír drove the Ordâkhai from Ambarûl north of the Ikorbân River.

Although their emperor and church have both fallen, the Ordâkhai are still attempting to retake the lands they had conquered.
