Unbeknownest to the people of Samuria and Vind, there was at least one other surviving civilisation on Aura after the Aurastorms struck.

Unfortunately, after centuries of holding off the mutated jungle, the White Mountain gnolls and their entire underghround city were transplanted to the Demi-plane of Dread, where R'rascd had a thoroughly miserable time. Soldier, medic, mage, diplomat and a talented shot.
