Draesca
The Draesca are a human tribe who live near the mines of Oakenhammer, in the mountains to the far south of Sylvania. [1]
During each tribal coronation, the new High King of the Draesca will don The Helm of the Draesca: an ancient artefact that although it accelerates the ageing process of the wearer also grants them great power over the living and the dead alike.[1]
Seven years of twilight are granted to the new King before he finally succumbs to undeath altogether but during that time, his every whim is catered for.[1]
Each new High King is determined to carve his mark on the world before his tenure has passed, and so the armies of the Draescan Kings go forth into the world every seven-year cycle, their numbers bolstered not only by thousands of the living dead but by the dusty cadavers of every king to have ever worn the helm.[1]
