Karac Tor—a place of wisdom and terror, magic, healing and darkness. Here, Aion, the Champion of Olfadr-Across-the-Sea, established the Three Holy Orders: Black, Gray and White Abbeys. He appointed the Three Taines, as well—festivals of Land, Fire and Water—to preserve the people and establish virtue. Here, Kr’Nunos the Devourer has ever labored to bring corruption and tyranny, though he has been held back for a time. Here, mortal Champions serve the purpose of the King, to assure that his deep connection to the land remains vital and just. Here, the Book of Names keeps staggering record of every person ever born under the bright sun of Karac Tor—not only those already born, but also those yet to be, past, present and future, for all time—until the War of Swords. Perhaps your name will be found there? Stranger things have been known to happen.
