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 the
descendent of this 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.
