|Introduction=The '''Korrash''' are heat-dwelling extremophiles, thriving where few others can—within the lava-scarred wastelands of Tahr’Zul. They are neither conquerors nor builders, but survivors, shaped by a world of fire, ash, and ceaseless upheaval. Rather than fight the land, they have become one with it, adapting to its extreme heat, toxic air, and unstable terrain. | |Introduction=The '''Korrash''' are heat-dwelling extremophiles, thriving where few others can—within the lava-scarred wastelands of Tahr’Zul.
