You'll note that there is no PDF for Encyclopaedia entries as the Encyclopaedia Elyden is now available to all patrons to view - the post is stickied on my Patreon, and patrons at any tier (even as little as $1 month) have access to it. The PDF is a living document and will be updated monthly as I add content to it. You can find it here.

_______________________________________________________________________

An independent region since 3101 RM, Durchaa emerged following the sundering of Almagest from Korchan in the wake of the Artifex Wars of 3014 RM. Durchaa is now a free kingdom built on the ruins of an ancient empire known as Thythia, on whose ruins the old Korachani colony was created.

Under Korachani control, Durchaa became known for its felshmills, ateliers and cloning manufactories, and had a diverse population of demiurnes, humans and dvergai. Today, the kingdom is powered by geothermal energy and continues the cloning and industrial traditions set forth by its forebears. It sells vat-born creatures to nations and individuals willing to pay the price.

It is also a major source of meteore, and boreholes constructed to reach deep reserves of umbra have scarred its surface. Once a supplier of raw umbra to imperial cities predating the War of the Artifexes, many of there mines are now abandoned, the siphon engines that once kept them safe destroyed, and the land around them tainted and inimical to life. This chthonic taint has been allowed to spread, leaving large parts of the nation corrupted.
