A minor kingdom, situated between the Rivers Dart and Dagger - tributaries of the river Swordflow. In 1526 the Kingdom of Gorak was founded by Tancred the Magnificent after his adventures in the Dark Chasms with his brother Orghuz. After taking advice from Bahriyya, their father's seer, Tancred and Orghuz set off on a long journey south to the Swordflow River. They crossed the river in c1520OT and settled the lands that now make up the realm of Gorak, establishing relations with the Gaddon people of the Chasms below who had populated that land many years before as refugees from the Splitting. The spirit of a Dark Lord known as The Malice possessed Orguz and he fell in the Battle of the Chasms of Gloom, under the Truffle Heights in 1525OT. The kingdom was to be the gateway between the surface lands of Khul and the caverns, chasms and tunnels of the Gaddon people. Gorak has been without a monarch for many years and is being governed by the lords Ridermark. The citadel is Gorak Keep situated in the centre of the land, just to the north of the Truffle Heights.
