Duroc

The Duroc were an ancient culture, one of the oldest in the southern quarter of the known world. Settling alongside the Uggor, the first Duroc peoples founded the cities of Asandar and Thaylon, finally being united into a single republic by diplomacy. Firm allies of Krato, they participated in the numerous Kratoan wars against Thearak. Eventually, the Duroc would be absorbed into the growing Kratoan Empire, and their descendants are scattered throughout the south of the Holy Moti Empire.
Many of the Duroc adhered to the Cult of the One, an obscure faith that preached that the world was a dream of the singular deity whom they worshiped. The faith grew notorious for its lack of taboos on dead bodies -- Duroc doctors routinely dissected cadavers to advance their knowledge. The Cult was intensely persecuted by the church of Iralliam, and its practitioners have died out entirely, almost all their knowledge lost. A Duroc medical textbook was unearthed by the Faronun Aluoda Railief in the city of Karamha; he would later implement his findings in a nascent, if struggling hospital in the Farubaida o Caroha.
