Background[]
"Panic, Tracadia sucks." ~ Greckles
"Of course it sucks! Why do you think I left!?" ~ Panic
A country with distinct northern and southern regions separated by a rugged mountain range. The south has plateaus and farmland. Its capital is Tracadia Capital, which has a substantial trading port.
Tracadia is home to many clans of green orcs. The orcs of Tracadia are brutal Gnash worshipers who revel in slaughter and destruction for its own sake, and are hated by the populace for past atrocities. Also the many caves and lightless hollows in the rugged mountains have been known to hide vampires and werewolves and their lycanthropic kin.
The vampires in the mountains have had a long and bloody history of violent interaction with the Ripjaw Gnoll clan, and are rumored to be the ones behind the Orc tribes razing towns, and were at one point entirely in control of Tracadia before the head of the powerful vampire clan was slain. Because of these creatures of the night, Tracadia is especially dangerous after the sun goes down, and proper precaution must be taken before ever considering stopping. As a result, there are plenty of safe houses and garrisons on the road, and most take carriages to their destinations to shorten the time spent on the road.
Tracadia has a sizable number of Avan worshipers, particularly paladins. The large amount of mountains in the country attract Avan worshipers and there are is a sizable order of paladins of Avan in Tracadia Capital.
