Biography

Arakki was the leader of his clan for at least two decades, between 835 and 855 PD. During that time, he tried to keep Koshtask independence against the Kryn Dynasty and the cult of the First Radiance with its increasing popularity in Xhorhas; due to this, Arakki was hostile towards missionaries of the Luxon.

After Leylas Kryn rescued her partner, Quana, from the Abyss, recovering a Luxon beacon in the process, she started a new campaign to extend the Luxon's reach across Xhorhas, gaining more consecuted souls for her religion. Part of the campaign brought the Kryn forces to the Koshtask settlement, invited by Arakki himself, with whom they met. He briefly expressed how pleased Gruumsh would be if he slayed the Bright Queen, but when she referenced how the Luxon had reached out to him, the orc asked for the Ruiner's forgiveness before accepting the dark elves' religion. After that, Arakki organized a celebration for the Bright Queen, during which she received news about the birth of the Bright Child, and, tortured by Lolth's influence, she decided to continue her holy quest instead of returning home.
