Daramek

For thousands of years, the people of Sitrak have lived in complete isolation, believing their muddy red valley the only habitable place in the world. Their lives are desperate, brutal struggles against starvation, violence and disease. The only rulers of these lands are haphazard clans, and among them, the Daramek are supreme. By complete mastery of beasts, the Daramek are able to provide food and shelter for their people, breed monsters to defend their herds, and unleash the hidden powers of blood, flesh and bone. But the world outside Sitrak has grown restless. Explorers sail the seas. Trespassers probe the mountains. The time of isolation is nearing an end.
