-Sitting in the northeastern corner of the continent, the rocky steppes and soaring plateaus have been ruled for at least the last thousand by the Lich King Ruczal. Drakken Tor has two medical oriented Foundries, one that produces almost all Medi-Gel on the continent, and another that produces a variety of high quality medicines. That combined with a near zero stigmatization of death in the region has lead to the nation becoming the preeminent producers of skilled chirurgeons. The lack of stigma towards death can be directly attributed to King Ruczal. Just after The Collapse, he founded the Cult of Ruczal, a cabal of necromancers who worship him as a god, and started the tradition of raising the dead to act as an unskilled workforce for farming and national defense.+Sitting in the northeastern corner of the continent, the rocky steppes and soaring plateaus have been ruled for at least the last thousand by the Lich [[alaraes:appendices:appendix_d:King Ruczal|King Ruczal]].

 The rocky-soil of the region assisted greatly in having the peasantry adopt the practice of handing over their beloved dead to the Cult of Ruczal. Just after the collapse, famine was rife and many died as their farming equipment failed from age and disrepair. The Cult came and promised easy living, and a return to more Urban lifestyles. Their spread was slow but today almost every citizen is a practicing member of the Cult. Rural folk love their necromancer king, as the use of undead has freed them from harsh labor and allows them time to pursue education and arts. The rocky-soil of the region assisted greatly in having the peasantry adopt the practice of handing over their beloved dead to the Cult of Ruczal.
