The name Pra’raj has been ubiquitous in the history of the Disc, through the rise and fall of many empires. Not inherently foul, and in many places anything but; in recent years, the name Pra’raj has been synonymous with the fell deeds of Zojhir, and Qa’im, whose interpretation of the system and its teachings have taken a nefarious turn.
