Though few in number compared to the Kech Shaarat, the Kech Volaar include the best masons and combat engineers in Khorvaire. Blunt and functional where it stands carved into the mountainside, this Dhakaani fortress is said to be impregnable—a claim that has been put to the test on numerous occasions.

Foreigners are allowed to enter Volaar Draal only when invited by a trusted member of the Kech Volaar. The subterranean citadel is a grim place, filled with troops undertaking combat drills and the echoing songs of the duur’kala. Volaar Draal is a primary source for Dhakaani arms and armor, and its vaults hold thousands of scrolls and tomes detailing the Age of Monsters, as well as artifacts from the war against the daelkyr.
