|Introduction=Orrakar is a vast land of deep chasms, labyrinthine valleys, and towering cliffs, shaped over millennia by the patient forces of wind, water, and time. A place of both endurance and transformation, Orrakar stands as a testament to the inevitability of erosion, proving that even the strongest stone will yield to the persistence of the elements. | |Introduction=Orrakar is a vast land of deep chasms, labyrinthine valleys, and towering cliffs, shaped over millennia by the patient forces of wind, water, and time.

Yet even for them, nothing remains unchanged. Time wears away even the strongest foundations, and both the Kuthar and Drahari have learned that to endure in Orrakar is to move with the land, never against it. The ruins of past dwellers—long-eroded cliff dwellings and sunken pathways—serve as quiet reminders that nothing in this realm is permanent. | Yet even for them, nothing remains unchanged.

Despite its harsh and shifting nature, Orrakar is home to a variety of resilient life. Flora such as the Kethra Thorn and Cinderplume Grass anchor themselves in the ever-eroding rock, while creatures like the Vorthak Cliffstrider and Krezul Hawk have mastered the winds and sheer cliffs. In Orrakar, survival is not about resisting change—it is about moving with it. | Despite its harsh and shifting nature, Orrakar is home to a variety of resilient life.

|Inhabitants=Orrakar is home to those who have learned to live with its ever-changing nature, rather than resist it. The [[Kuthar|Kutharen]], skilled gliders and cultivators, inhabit the windswept mesas, where they weave hanging gardens and build suspended settlements that shift with the land. In contrast, the [[Drahar|Drahari]] carve their homes into the sheer canyon walls, scavenging the depths for what erosion reveals and preserving the remnants of the past. | |Inhabitants=Orrakar is home to those who have learned to live with its ever-changing nature, rather than resist it.
