Arrak

Arrak is the custom-designed world for the Lightfall campaign of the Dungeons and Dragons series High Rollers D&D. It is a small continent located on the prime material plane.

The continent of Arrak is surrounded by oceans. It consists of three countries on its surface and are generally demarcated by the Grasping Peaks mountain ranges. The countries are Bresseras, Dawn Republic and Unbroken Empire. Arrak also have a surface frontier region called the Troubled Lands, and an underground region called the Underdark.

Bresseras
Bresseras is a desert kingdom located on the western regions of Arrak. It is the oldest and largest country of Arrak, currently ruled by the Chromatic dragonborns and its allies. Another major race, the tieflings, also live in the country. Bresseras is also a hermit kingdom as its inhabitants are only concerned of events happening within its borders.

Despite being the oldest kingdom of Arrak, it is not without its own political turmoil. Bresseras was initially established by the dragonborns and their masters, the dragons, centuries before the Lightfall. There are two major classes of the dragons and dragonborns, Chromatics and Metallics. They elected their first Wyrm King, a noble gold dragonborn, who was a warrior. The warriors of the two classes work together to fend off the Demonic Invasion that took place during the time. In an attempt to take over the lands, the demons offers the savage human tribes to join them, promising power and wealth. The human tribes agreed and eventually became the tieflings. With their new allies, the demons are winning the war. The Metallic dragonborns then organized an army to hold back the Demonic Invasion. The tactic succeeded and the demons are forced back into their demonic planes. The dragons then seal off the portal to the demonic planes and, after exhausting all their power in the war, the dragons are put to eternal arcane sleep. Fearing further retaliation, the dragonborns then enslaved the tieflings.

After the war, the Chromatics felt that Bresseras now needs a leader who is either intelligent or religious. The downfall of the Metallics began as overtime, the Chromatics removed all Metallic leaders from power. The Metallics' fate is sealed when a female black dragonborn, Queen to the Wyrm King, slew him in his sleep. From then on, only the Chromatic dragonborn ruled the land. Despite this, the Metallics held onto their traditions to have a Wyrm King ruling over their own class.
