The Rach have a caste system of government
known as the Takrorah, meaning “expansion
method.” The fi rst Emperor, or Kaharach, Konta,
laid the foundation for the Rach Empire that we
know today. All facets of life are regimented
by the caste system. This system dictates
daily activity within a given caste according
to an individual’s growth, both physically and
mentally, from birth. There are six major castes,
each with an untold amount of sub castes and
careers. They are, in order of prestige: Imperial,
Warrior, Educator, Food Creator, Diplomat and
Merchant.
The Imperial Caste is the governing body of the
Rach with the Kaharach at its head. The Kaharach
The Rach descended from bipedal catlike beasts
of the Kor Mountains. A carnivorous pack
animal, they eventually hunted their homeland
dry of food sources and the great pack was
split by its Alphas and sent in four directions
to fi nd more food sources and new lands for
the pack. These beasts quickly moved to the top
of the food chain with their outstanding ability
to adapt to even the harshest environments
within only a few generations. Eventually they
could be found everywhere on Mohr and
became the Tribes of the Rach we know today.
Confl ict is a large part of Rach society, and
they have fought too many wars to count
over the centuries. Since before the time of
the fi rst Kaharach, physical confrontation has
been a mainstay of their lives. Rach tribes
fought war after war attempting to fulfi ll the
prophecy of the Kaharach laid down by their
ancestors until, fi nally, one Rach united the
tribes by conquering them all, fulfi lling the
prophecy of Kaharach. His name was Konta of
the Dakan tribe and his legacy lives on through

dictates law and is advised by councilors from
each Tribe. Originally the Rach were divided
into a thousand tribes, but the early days of the
Season of Storms took their toll and dramatically
reduced the actual number of tribes. Today
there are offi cially 612 tribes and, while
reduced in numbers, it still equates to a large
number of councilors attending the Imperial
Council. With all of the tribes nominating
a member of the Diplomat caste as their
representatives, debates in the Imperial Council
are often lengthy and may become heated or
occasionally violent because the councilors
often disagree on the best courses of action.
The Kaharach has the fi nal say over all matters.
the actions and deeds of the current Kaharach.
Over the next several centuries the Rach
fl ourished under the Kaharach’s. Advances in
science, medicine, and culture allowed the Rach
to live longer and more peaceful lives to the point
that some began to believe they were becoming
“dull” and losing their warrior spirit. To reverse
this trend, the 42nd Kaharach, Yonga, set aside
one thousand tracts of land encompassing all the
varied terrain types of Mohr and decreed that
no less than ten percent of the Rach should be
at war at all times. One hundred of the thousand
tribes were called to the Tobach Rik, or “Fields
of Glory,” where they were given an opponent,
a date, a battlefi eld, and told they had one year
to prepare for battle. Thus began The Season of
Storms. Countless thousands of Rach perished
over the next decade as all of the thousand tribes
took their turns and were blooded in battle.
The 51st Kaharach, Gharl the Evenhanded
deemed that tribes need not send their entire
population and should instead send a tenth
composed of their fi nest warriors as determined
by martial contests within each tribe. This
