To the western half of Malkor (of where you will start), the East is a completely foreign area. Tales are spun of how Tiamat's dark hand reigns over the entire East, and the tide of darkness is held at bay by the Peacekeepers' Wall along the eastern mountainrange. Despite this, there are tales of adventurers claim to come from the far Eastern regions, speaking in near unintelligible accents and dressing supremely strange. However, the chances for such a thing being true are small, in the eyes of Malkorians. (If you have a desire to play an Easterner, discuss it with me.)
