Kothrak

Kothrak or Land of the Kothraki is a continent lying to the east of Eredar. Little else is known about the continent or the people of Kothrak, as few Eredaran peoples have ever dared to cross the vast ocean that separated it from Eredar. It was believed that the Arusa lived in Kothrak at one time but were eventually eaten by the Kothraki, who have themselves launched several attacks upon Eredar in past ages.

Though Kothrak may sound too bestial to take notice of at first glance, it was an important figure and influence on Eredar's history. Kothrak has influenced Eredar for countless centuries, both in times of peace and war, as the two continents have always had a tumultuous relationship.

History
The history of Kothrak mostly involves legends and tales of battles between armies of Kothrak and Eredar. A mythical story states that a great Human warrior once traveled to Kothrak and, with the help of the Dwarves, slew an army of Kothraki.

The first specific encounter and written record occurred toward the end of the First Era. Eredar was invaded by the Kothrak, but the invasion was halted by Ranahaldus and his armies. The Kothraki forces were destroyed, and those who remained living were offered amnesty to fight for the Human empire. The Kothraki who accepted later played important roles in Eredar's growing society.
