Carcolan society is ethnically and culturally diverse, reflecting centuries of migration, trade, and post-rebellion integration. Major cities are known for their once-thriving magical universities, naval academies, and river markets. While education and magic were historically prized, the growing influence of the Ochre Flame has led to the persecution or exile of many mages and freethinkers, particularly after the [[Dorian Reforms]]. | Carcolan society is ethnically and culturally diverse, reflecting centuries of migration, trade, and post-rebellion integration.
