Torakk
The Lands of Torakk (estimated population 112,500)
lie west of Lake Jorakk along the Jorakk Mountains and the
Rytarr Woods. Families loosely organized to ensure a more
successful hunt populate Torakk. These families are known
as aronaks. Each aronak governs itself and operates as a
distinct unit. Aronaks frequently war with each other over
the perceived borders of their hunting territory. Torakk
lacks a central government or a supreme ruler. The name
Torakk' is given to the northern plains and the land along
the western shore of Lake Jorakk, north of the Lower Byth
River.
Each aronak has its own shaman, although larger
aronaks may have two or more. Most aronak groups follow
the Way of the Berserk, but the majority of Torakki people
are not religious. The Temple of the Patient Arrow, the
Church of Night's Beauty, the Order of Life, the Temple of
Strife, the Congregation of the Dead and the Thunderer's
Temple have small Torakki followings.
The Torakki people are known not only for their
hunting skills but also for their hardiness and fearlessness in
battle. The harsh conditions in which they live have
produced warriors of great strength and prowess. Their
hardy physical condition makes them prime targets for
Slennish kidnapping raids.
There is a constant struggle for life in the cold wasteland
of Torakk. As mentioned, the Theocracy of Slen raids
Aronaks for sacrifice victims. The ores and ogres of the
Jorakk Mountains also continually assault the human
inhabitants of the area.
