Creation
The beginning of House Verak'at is all but a mystery lost in the annals of time, only a few fractured traditions remain. It is rumored that House Verak'at feeble beginnings started deep under the city they now rule. Like many legends about Dragwens it is considered that House Verak'at originated from the world beyond the void, Untervol, with them crawling through a magical rift into the caverns beneath Areveyi. However, this is still considered to be a myth by many.

What is known is that the Dragwens that did originate in the subterranean caverns were there for generations slowly growing in numbers. They became great architects, creating winding caverns, tunnels and hovels throughout the subterranean world. However tragedy struck one day when the great cavern, home to thousand of Dragwens collapsed killing most of the citizens of this underworld. Upon the collapse the remaining Dragwens made their way to the surface, many being orphaned in the collapse. Adult Dragwens felt it was their duty to protect their own and so they adopted the younglings to leave none without a home.

The Dragwens soon set on pilgrimages accross Eldham seeking a new place to call home. Many made their way to Drakonia and soon joined the nation there slipping into the crowds of dragonborn, unnoticed by the world. Others tried to settle elsewhere, only to be killed by their human neighbors. The only ones who survived, not to be forgot was the small clan of Verak'at. They had settled on the land between the Great Sand Sea and the Dark Hollow two great divides that kept them safe from their neighbors. The clan of Verak'at would found a small village which would later become know as Bagrat.
