Editing Draken History (section)

=== Life in Ashkarak ===

Ashkarak is a crucible of survival, a place where only the strong endure and the weak are claimed by the desert or the blade. Every day is a relentless trial of endurance, where warriors are trained from childhood, hardened by the merciless heat, brutal combat, and unforgiving trials that define the Bone Clan’s way of life. Those who fail to meet its demands are cast aside, whether by falling in battle or succumbing to the punishing sun.

To earn their place, young Draken must undergo the Warrior Trials, proving their strength in combat against rival warriors or the deadly beasts of the desert. Yet, the greatest honour in Ashkarak is reserved for those who partake in the legendary Dragon Hunts, where warriors travel vast distances at the mere whisper of a great beast, seeking to earn their name in battle.

Those who fall in the hunt are not forgotten, their remains honoured within the Hall of Skulls, alongside the trophies of the dragons they sought to slay. Presiding over Ashkarak's traditions are the Bone Shamans, spiritual leaders who commune with the spirits of slain dragons, believing that each kill strengthens the tribe.

Meanwhile, the Blacksmiths of the Inferno, masters of their craft, forge weapons and armour from dragon bone and scales, creating gear that is not only practical for war but a revered symbol of power.

In Ashkarak, every aspect of life is shaped by conflict, fire, and legacy, and only those strong enough to withstand its trials may call it home.
