The realm of Ji-Lak is the refugee home of the Jakara. It is by all measures a realm that has kept mostly to itself, even in the threat of great danger such as the onslaught of the Necromancer King Szodrin. The realm was carved out by the fleeing jakara tribes, purifying the land of all goblinoids, giants and other humanoid monsters. Over the past thousand years since their arrival to Kralis, the jakara tribes have cultivated a mysterious land filled with low fog, thick forests of various types of trees, and have used powerful magic to create a border that is dangerous to cross over those that do uninvited have often found themselves up against the ancestral spirits of the jakara or have become lost in the vales surrounding the realm, only to find themselves either at the mercy of the jakarian tribes or on the outside of the realm's forests once more.
Little is known about the inner workings of the jakarian tribes. They are known to have a strong caste system, with spiritual leaders being at the pinnacle of leadership. The whole realm is ruled over by the Council of Five, a representative from each of the five known tribes: Leonis, Tigris, Pantera, Sabbatorri, and Lynak. Of the five tribes, the Leonis, Tigris, and Pantera are the few tribes that allow (or have been allowed) to explore the world that they now call home.
The lands of the jakarian tribes are said to be pristine in all manner, from the cleanliness of the forests to the perfect blue of the few lakes of the realm. The summers are not to hot and the winters are not very cold. The realm for all manner of description is said to be of near perfection alike to what mortals would describe the celestial plane of Jahanna.
There are very few towns, most jakara clans live in closet knit villages scattered through out the realm. Each of the five clans taking up and controlling a portion of the realm. The largest village, which could be considered a town in many respects is Rhughtirrith and is considered by those that are allowed to enter and exit the realm to the be heart of realm, and has been deemed the capital of the realm.
