Reclusive and inward, the village of Brakken is filled entirely with the Followers of Hul Dun'Sor, an ancient earthcraft that can be practiced only by Marked Women. Although not inherently evil, the practices of the Followers cause the night skies overlooking Brakken to swell and pulsate a deep, almost sentient blackness. It is said that Brakken is actually an ancient convent for Witches who fled their Cult Circles and decided to direct their knowledge of the black arts to that of good.
