Dactura
From Damasca
Pronounced with a hard "K" sound, as in "Daktura".
Long forgotten by the rest of the world, Dactura has been left in solitude for generations. Once the great war between Arnoth and Alkemia forced the mage kingdom to seek a new home, the native culture was forced to enter the global political arena, since they could no longer remain hidden from the eyes of other, more sociable nations. In spite of newfound political troubles, Dactura has long suffered from worse - A plague of wild and hostile Elemental spirits, born from the very magic that flows through the fabric of the continent. While these elementals thrive and feed from the magical powers that saturate its environment, Dactura is also victim to the twisted workings of "the sleeper" - Darius, who is said by the elites who know him to be at the root of the elemental problem.
Notably, "Dactura" is a name given to the continent by Alkemian settlers, not the Keldarii. Since the true name is considered sacred, however, it is rarely used and few outsiders know it.
