Carantheum
The kingdom of Carantheum is located in the Red Desert, a great expanse of scarlet sand surrounded on all sides by the Wilderlands of Zaran.
The Dracartans
This region is home to the Dracartans, a race of former nomads who settled in the Red Desert centuries ago.
- Thaumaturgy: Carantheum is famed for its thaumaturges and their wondrous creations.
- Dracarta: The capital city, featuring towering obelisks and three-fold outer walls plated with red iron.
Trade and Transportation
Goods from Dracarta are transported across the crimson sands using unique vessels:
- Duneships: Sail-powered land barges and ships that traverse the desert.
- Land Barges: Heavy transport vessels for trade goods.
Geopolitical Threats
- Rajinnar (South): Their greatest enemy. The Rajans have attempted two invasions, and a third war is considered inevitable. [^1]
- The Quan Empire (East): The expansionist aspirations of the Quan and their Kang soldiers remain a constant concern.
[^1]: The Dracartans suspect the current Khadun is amassing a massive army for a future assault.
