Survival in Orrakar demands adaptation, as the land is constantly being worn away, reshaped, and reformed.

|Flora and Fauna=<noautolinks>{{See also|Flora and fauna of Orrakar}}</noautolinks>

Despite its harsh ~~conditions~~, Orrakar is home to resilient life ~~that has adapted to~~ the ~~shifting land~~ and ~~relentless erosion.~~

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.

~~===Flora===~~

*Gravebloom Vine – A twisting, ash-colored vine that grows along crumbling rock faces, its roots burrowing deep into stone crevices to anchor ~~itself against the wind.~~

*Sunglass Reed – A tough, crystalline-stalked plant that thrives in ~~seasonal riverbeds, its hollow stems capturing moisture before~~ the ~~floods vanish.~~

*Dustroot Shrub – A low-~~growing~~, ~~brittle plant whose tiny, thorned leaves close up during~~ the ~~heat of the day, only opening at night to absorb moisture from the air.~~

~~===Fauna===~~

*Vorthak (Cliffstrider ~~Beast) – A four-legged, long-limbed predator that leaps across canyon walls, its hooked claws allowing it to grip sheer rock faces with ease.~~

*Krezul Hawk ~~(Wind-Cutting Raptor) – A silent, razor-winged bird of prey, its feathers shaped to ride~~ the ~~unpredictable~~ winds~~, allowing it to dive through narrow ravines at terrifying speed.~~

*Tarkuun (Burrowing Sand Lurker) – A scaled, subterranean beast that hides beneath the loose canyon dust, striking at prey before retreating into the shifting sands.

~~All life in~~ Orrakar ~~has adapted to change~~, ~~evolving to cling, burrow, or navigate the relentless erosion of the land~~.

|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.
