Ekaad, meaning "Kaad in exile", is the village where the original inhabitants of Kaad made their homes after fleeing the forces of Chaos centuries earlier. Situated deep within the Marshes of Kok in northern Allansia, it remained hidden from Evil and also from everybody else, its isolation causing the villagers to become completely cut off from the outside world and unaware of the changes that had occurred. The Ekaadians still worshipped Ashra and Vuh, and knew next to nothing of the gods of the Celestial Court, referring to them as the Young Gods.
