Orrakar’s transformation is slow, deliberate, and inevitable, a world where great passages are carved through stone, and the echoes of time linger in the weathered walls of the canyons. The realm is a domain of patience and change, ruled by the [[ascendant spirit]] of erosion, Varethor, whose presence is felt in every wind-sculpted ridge and every river-worn passage.

|History=Orrakar is as ancient as the first crumbling rock, shaped long before the mountains of [[Adaris]] rose and fell. While some realms were forged in fire, chaos, or divine will, Orrakar was carved by the unyielding hands of time.

The Silent Sculptor – It is said that Varethor, the spirit of erosion, was not born in fire or fury but awoke with the first crumbling of stone, a being of patience and inevitability.
Orrakar is a land of deep canyons, sheer cliffs, and towering mesas, its terrain shaped by winds, rivers, and the slow march of erosion. The land is fractured and winding, with hidden valleys, labyrinthine passageways, and rock formations sculpted into impossible shapes.
 
The Vanishing Paths – Orrakar never remains the same—canyons widen, cliffs collapse, and rivers shift their course, ensuring that no path lasts forever.
 
The beings of Orrakar, whether native or transient, must adapt or be left behind, for nothing remains unchanged in the face of time’s steady hand.
