12.2.7.8 THE VILLAGE OF DAIRUCHI

During the last days of the Taint War, the spiritual leader of Gaudiguch led his followers to the desert and there they eventually established the village of Dairuchi. Indeed, the village is still governed by a disciple in the line of that enigmatic spiritual master. Though some dracnari became desert nomads in a search for a way to free Gaudiguch and reclaim its former glory, the dracnari of Dairuchi are a more peaceful people, preferring to utilize their astounding ability to tame wild beasts to further commercial enterprises. Notably, they have tamed silk spiders and pretty much cornered the silk market until Angkrag began farming silk themselves. No one, however, has been able to tame rockeaters, except for the dracnari of Dairuchi, which they use to mine exquisite marble. Nevertheless, training rockeaters is a difficult task even for the Dairuchi, and those who help the Dairuchi in the training program are handsomely rewarded.
