==Grum-Tarath==  

High in the western Sarokean mountains, Grum-Tarath is a small nation that has wormed its way into the rock of the slopes and peaks; the terraces, high monasteries and towers are home to what is often seen as a very isolationist people.  Outsiders often wonder at the carved towns that have been gouged from the mountainsides, and it is a not uncommon belief that the Grum-Tarath elders are hoarding Elder tunnelling technology or eldritch science of some sort.  Tarath society focuses a lot on duty and discipline, with a process of assignation to caste and role; it is also home to a number of esoteric and elemental sects, a concentration not found anywhere else.  The Younger God Grumand is held in most high respect here.

It is said that there are a number of great, hovering spheres of rock over the most holy of Grum-Tarath settlements, apparently a series of meteorites caught by Grumand's will and suspended just short of impact.  It is also said that Grum-Tarath practice ritual cannibalism, and while this is probably not true, they do collect and carve the bones of the dead to honour them.
