Rakte

Rakte was a male Orc who served as the 30th Tulkon. He was born in Baikhal, Keghotogh Ascendancy, in 2560. Thanks to Tulkon Giha’s reconstruction efforts following the Orc Conquest, the people of the Keghotogh Ascendancy viewed the Tulkon with high esteem and Rakte’s confirmation as the Tulkon was widely celebrated. Rakte was half-human; his mother Tasha was the daughter of Honsin relief workers who worked with Tulkon Giha and settled in Keghotogh, and his father Raurgkhurkh was a native of the city.

Rakte grew to become a wise leader, even as a teen. Civil unrest in the country began coming to a head; a rebel faction believed that the Ascendancy’s government was to blame for the widespread destruction that took place in the country as well as its near collapse, and the government’s inefficiency led to the previous Tulkon having to save it. A small number of extremists even targeted Rakte. Eventually, a coup took place. Rakte and some of his allies were evacuated to Usybork IHS while the fighting raged on the frozen continent. Rakte was infuriated watching his home burn to the ground from afar, so he made his way back home and used his powers to end the fighting. The Ascendancy officially split into two republics, the Keghotogh and the Kepet. While independent, they would consult each other on important issues.

In 2660, the Dwarf nation of Nodal fell into Civil War when the conservative opposition tried banning non-Prophetists from the country. Rakte believed it was an internal matter and refused to step in. He eventually realized the error of his ways but not before a large portion of the population was killed. He decided to stay in Nodal and lead recovery efforts, where he died of old age in 2672 AT. Rakte was well-loved by most orcs, but he was viewed unfavorably by some Nodal dwarves. He was succeeded by the Elf E'Acoradi. Some years after his death, Eberil, leader of the conservative opposition, peacefully ascended to the throne of Nodal.
