- "Malistaire apparently traveled to the world of Krokotopia to find the Order of the Fang! Who knows what chaos he sought there!"

Krokotopia, abbreviated colloquially as "Krok," is a desert world in the Spiral. It is home to the Mander species, and is frequently visited by the Royal Expeditionary Force of Marleybone, who excavate ancient artifacts from the world for use in exhibits inside the Marleybone Royal Museum.
The world is home to the School of Balance, which is the official school of sorcery at Ravenwood School of Magical Arts.
History[]
The Krokotopia War and the Great Sleep[]
For thousands of years, the Manders lived in harmony, but this changed when an island full of Kroks rose to The Oasis, and they began to settle onto the world. The Manders were kind and took care of the displaced people, but their hospitality was taken advantage of, and the Kroks overthrew the government of the world, enslaving the Manders.
The Djeserit family and the Ahnic family were the two most powerful families of the Krok species. Both families shared their power and became stronger as one when am Ahnic wizard married a Djeserit warrior, making the Krok's hold on Krokotopia even stronger than it was before. The marriage was long and successful, but Irisi Djeserit eventually passed away, and power was transferred to Queen Krokopatra.
When discussing which family's tomb the body of Irisi would rest in, the Ahnic family insisted that Irisi be buried in the Ahnic Family Tomb rather than the Djeserit Family Tomb tomb, despite her being born a Djeserit. This greatly angered the Djeserit family, who feared the Ahnic family was trying to take over Krokotopia for themselves. The Djeserit declared war on the Ahnic family, starting the Krokotopia War.
During the war, a small group of magical Kroks created the Order of the Fang. They also wrote the Krokonomicon, a book of dark magic that put a majority of the rest of their species into the Great Sleep. Krokotopia entered an era of peace, and the Manders were once again the rulers of the world.
The Great Awakening and Malistaire's Vengeance[]
Centuries after the end of the War was forced by the Order of the Fang, the Royal Expeditionary Force of Marleybone, led by Professor Winthrop, began to excavate the Pyramid of the Sun, and while doing so accidentally awoke the Kroks from their sleep. The Kroks quickly re-enslaved the Manders, and re-instated their hold over Krokotopia once again.
Soon after, Malistaire Drake arrived on Krokotopia, searching for the Krokonomicon as part of his plan to awaken the Dragon Titan and revive his wife Sylvia, who had recently died.
