'''Sithicus''', meaning ''The Land Of Specters'' in the [[Sithican (Language) | Elven tongue]], is unusual in being one of the few domains inhabited primarily by non-humans, in this case elves. Created and formerly ruled by the [[Death Knight]] [[Lord Soth]] before his disappearance, Sithicus is now officially the kingdom of the [[werebadger]] [[Azrael Dak]], who is far more interested in the fates of his subjects than Soth was. Other than elves, the sentient races inhabiting Sithicus include a few small pockets of humans, and several tribes of tortured, tormented [[Vampiric Kender| Vampire kender]], who are usually mistaken for [halflings?]. The Darklord of Sithicus is a [[half-Vistani]]/half-shadow woman by the name of [[Inza Kulchevich]], daughter of [[Magda Ilyanova Kulchevich]].

Sithicus, meaning The Land Of Specters in the Elven tongue, is unusual in being one of the few domains inhabited primarily by non-humans, in this case elves. Created and formerly ruled by the Death Knight Lord Soth before his disappearance, Sithicus is now officially the kingdom of the werebadger Azrael Dak, who is far more interested in the fates of his subjects than Soth was. Other than elves, the sentient races inhabiting Sithicus include a few small pockets of humans, and several tribes of tortured, tormented Vampire kender, who are usually mistaken for [halflings?]. The Darklord of Sithicus is a half-Vistani/half-shadow woman by the name of Inza Kulchevich, daughter of Magda Ilyanova Kulchevich.
