The only ones who do not flee the ruins of Drakkonhold, where some claim the Karu'han converse with sleeping entities.

Karu'han Society= Economy: The Karu'han "do not believe in money," conquering through plunder, including the enslavement of prisoners. Their only natural resources are pastures and horses—therefore, their diet revolves around horse meat and fermented mare's milk.

Wealth: Much of their wealth comes from plundering neighboring nations or even other Karu'han hordes. They despise trade but value the payment of taxes.

Relationship with the Free Cities: The Free Cities sometimes send enormous tributes instead of confronting them. They rarely reciprocate gifts immediately, but promise to do so—and keep their promises in their own time. When they need counterfeit artifacts, they may "trade" captives for goods through taxes.

Karu'han Clothing= Function over fashion: They use practical leather, furs, and rustic fabrics ideal for riding and survival. Light or minimal clothing: In arid regions, men often go topless; women wear light dresses or blouses, exposing part of their bodies.

clothing: Light leather tunics, turbans, tribal paint with volcanic ash.

The Body in Karu'han Culture= The body is strength: Strong and agile bodies are admired—demonstrating skill in combat, riding, hunting, and childbirth.

The body tells a story: scars, muscles, tattoos, and marks are symbols of pride and survival.

Comparison with Other Cultures= What the Karu'han think: The Karu'han consider overly protective cultures as weak or repressed. They despise ostentatious, yet impractical, clothing as signs of decay and vulnerability.

Common Karu'han Equipment= Weapons: Scimitars, recurved spears, combat sickles. Some Irr'Haan wield blades forged from lava—ember-red.

Mounts: Tall, slender horses with golden or black coats, trained for combat, speed, and endurance in the desert.

Masters of Horsemanship= Fame: The Karu'han were known as the best horsemen in the world.

Thought: The Karu'han considered the horse sacred and essential to their identity; walking was seen as a sign of weakness or disgrace. Childhood: Children learned to ride even before they learned to walk.

Karu'han War and Conquest Culture= About: Nomadic conquerors, ruthless raiders who lived off plunder. They used the iconic Irr'Haan weapon, a curved blade ideal for mounted combat. Leaders: Their leaders were called Ka'jal, and their armies were known as Fires.

Symbols of Prestige= About: A Ka'jal never cut his hair until defeated—the longer the braid, the greater his fame and invincibility.

Prestige: A warrior's strength and prestige were directly linked to his appearance and the victories he achieved.

Home= Dwelling: They lived in mobile tents and followed herds, hunting routes, and wars.

Karu'han Language= Language: They spoke the Karu'han language, with strong, flowing sounds. The language was developed for the series by linguists and became a symbol of the people's identity.

How the rest of the world views the Karu'han= Perspective: From a Western and civilizational perspective, especially from the cultures of the seven Noble Houses of Drakvaris and the Free Cities, the Karu'han were often considered barbarians—but this is an ethnocentric view, based on the values ​​of urban and sedentary societies.

Why the Karu'han were seen as barbarians= First reason: Nomadic and tribal lifestyle. They rejected cities, agriculture, and writing. They did not build buildings or cultivate the land.

Second reason: Brutal and violent customs; They looted villages, enslaved people, and raped and killed the vanquished. They had cruel rituals (such as eating the raw heart of a pregnant mare in ceremonies).

Third reason: Disrespect for "civilized laws"; They followed their own rules within the campfires. Might was law — the strongest led. Fourth reason: Disrespect for the human life of "foreigners"; They treated people who were not Karu'han as inferiors or objects of conquest.

Valderia (volcanic and glacial north): Absolute monarchy. King Thamor Varyon rules with an iron fist and draconic dogma. An inquisitorial system controls magic and faith.

Thramund (icy and mountainous plains): Tribal system, divided into clans and jarls. Jarl Varyn is the most respected leader, but each clan is sovereign. Decisions are made in councils called Thrings.

Mirrara (rich and commercial deserts): Feudal monarchy with theocratic nuances. Queen Seraphine shares power with the Solar Council of mages and nobles. Cities have autonomy, but we owe loyalty to the queen.

Rumors and Ancient Stories of Drakvaris (Known to All)=

About Prophecies and Signs: The Blood Moon precedes great falls. Whenever the moon appears red, a king dies or a kingdom falls within the year. Children born during eclipses bring change. Some change the world. Others destroy it. Dreams of fire are not dreams. Among ancient peoples, dreaming of flames was seen as a warning, not imagination.

On War and Blood: The first murder between brothers cursed the world. Old bards say that, since then, war has never ceased—it has only changed form. Blood remembers who spilled it. A common belief among soldiers—men who kill too many end up being recognized by death itself. Swords break, oaths do not. Betraying an oath made before fire or the ancient gods is considered worse than murder.

On the Karu’han: They speak to horses. Foreigners swear that the Karu’han murmur ancient words to the animals before battle. A Ka’jal never dies in bed. If that happens, they say he has been cursed.

On Blood and Lineage: Ancient blood does not dilute—it awakens. Even after generations, certain lineages suddenly “awaken.” Illegitimate children sometimes inherit more power than legitimate ones. An uncomfortable story that nobles prefer to pretend doesn't exist. Blood reminds them who he was. They say certain people carry memories they didn't live.

Popular phrase in taverns: “Fear not winter, nor war. Fear the ancient fire—it always takes its toll.”

Rumors from the Drakvaris Region= KARU’HAN — The Riders of the Wind: Horses.

choose their riders: Not the other way around. A true Ka’jal never lies to the fire. If they lie, they lose the respect of their own clan. They know when someone is going to die. Before battle, some bid farewell to specific people.
