In the North, life is harder. The Northern Lands of Ram'aka are no exception,
and those who spend their lives there are in a constant struggle against harsh
nature on the one hand, and harsher neighbors on the other. Living near the
very edge of civiliation, kingdoms in Ram'aka are subjected to barbarian raids,
animal attacks, and harsh weather.
The Orris Principality is perhaps the brightest spot in the cold north country.
Located near the ocean, the Kingdom of Orris has the advantage of limited trade
with foreign merchants, providing access to strange and wonderful wares that
are more commonly seen in the resplendent and decadent southern realms. In
addition to fantastic items and articles, their seaport also provides access to
learning and academics from far-off lands. Orris itself is well-known as the
scholarly epicenter of the Northern Lands of Ram'aka.
With the opening of the magical rifts, visitors to the Kingdom of Orris grew
fewer and less frequent - but those that did brave the global upheaval to visit
Orris were different, stranger, and more diverse. Even as attacks from the
Further Lands increased, learning about the newly-unleashed arts fluorished.
Soon the future became clear; all of Ram'aka must embrace the knowledge and use
of magic. The mythological Sword of Agot has risen from its dark slumber, and
only with it in hand can the Northern Lands of Ram'aka smite the Southern
encroachments, defend themselves from the Further Lands, and assume the
preeminence their histories have foretold.
And so the armies of Orris march south. Nothing can stand in its way.
Certainly not any Draak Queens.
