Saracor (SA-ra-cor, “Firering”) is a land nestled in valley across the crests of the Golden Hills from the kingdoms of Dorondor, Brethiliand, Lalvendaur, and Edor-en-Ivyg. The land is fenced in by the Golden Hills to the west and south, and the Hills of Flame to the east, from which some believe it gained its name. The Vale of Saracor itself is somewhat drier than the Mellinered, with tangled forests of hardy pines and manzanitas in the foothills giving way to warm plains on the valley floor. The land drains into a single river, the Alga, which drains into the easternmost mouth of Cof Yrch, the Bay of Orcs.

Saracor was a productive province in the time of the Old Kings, and remained so in spite of many disasters which befell during the Cataclysm. It became a target of many invasions: first of Orcs, then of Bear-Folk led by Boribrag’s brother, Mechabor. This last invasion was very brutal, and for years the lower valley was held by a variety of Brogwaith-Aurcaladorim kingdoms, while the hills and the upper valley were held by Orc-Aurcaladorim ones. However, after a few centuries of constant warfare, the great warlord Torik united the myriad tribes, and Saracor has been a force to be reckoned with ever since.

Saracor is peopled by men of mixed Brogwaith-Aurcaladorim stock, Half-Orcs, and Orcs. A few Hobgoblins dwell in the lowlands, having immigrated from Dunamarth. Saracor has historically held great enmity with Dorondor and Brethiliand, ever eager to expand their domains eastward (and vice-versa). Saracor likewise bears the numerous wild tribes of Myrndeilf little love. While Saracor is occasionally targeted by Dunamarthi slavers, more often than not they are customers, like the men of Dyr Gwinhir.

The traditional symbol of Saracor was a bird of prey, wings outstretched. Saracorrim traditionally prefer blues, whites, browns, and greens.
