King of Gorak is a title dating from 1526OT when the Kingdom of Gorak was founded by "Tancred the Magnificent" after his adventures in the Dark Chasms with his brother Orghuz. Within three centuries of Tancred's death it seemed that the royal line was lost after all male heirs were taken by plague. Gorak was been without a monarch for many years and was governed by the lords Ridermark until the heir of Tancred emerged in 280AC.
