The Hannish dancers who wield the Kriegstanz, an ancient form of dance said to predate Radz-at-Han, travel the world spreading joy and hope to suffering peoples to combat the effects of the Totentanz.
While a connection is never directly made, this resembles the effects of the Final Days. There are tales in Radz-at-Han of the Totentanz, a strange malady that preys on unfortunate souls, feeding off their anger and sorrow to make them attack their friends and spreading the darkness in their hearts to those around them. The alchemists of Radz-at-Han theorize the existence of an energy called akasa, which is distinct from aether and is influenced by people's emotions. Radz-at-Han is the homeland of alchemy and dancers. In actuality, Vrtra is the true ruler of Radz-at-Han and the position of satrap is a cover to conceal his presence. For ages Vrtra has acted as satrap's guardian deity, said to fly to his aid if he is ever in need. It is said that in ancient times the satrap's ancestor forged a covenant with a divine dragon, Vrtra of the first brood.
Radz-at-Han is led by a figure known as the satrap, a descendant of the one who brought peace between Thavnair's warring factions to bring about Radz-at-Han. Radz-at-Han also has an embassy in Kugane, and has long had a strong relationship with Sharlayan, another neutral nation. Due to a treaty with the Garlean Empire, it remained neutral in Garlemald's conquest of the Three Great Continents, allowing it to trade with both conquered and unconquered nations.
