Oak is known as the ‘dark nation’ by most and is the only nation to have a large Gorun tribal population.
Oak is formed from a meeting of savage tribes: Gorun, Human, Rethos, and Thelis. Unlike usual however they managed to agree with each other and live in relative peace. No all out war at least, instead they raided each other from time to time. It was almost like a deadly game for the tribes. Over time the tribes started to work together to crush their rivals.
They have remained rather savage taking what they need from smaller nations as they developed. Their savagery and brutality have kept their larger neighbors from invading.
The peoples of Oak believe in a group of powerful spirits that rule the universe. They have no name for it, or even a formal ‘religious doctrine’ among all of their people. Instead the Aard Priester expand on the verbal traditions each generation.
