Oracil was a historic city-state in the east of modern Narette in the Anrel Isles, in the foothills of the Laharkin Mountains. Oracil is thought to have been founded by an Iskean-ethnic tribe around 1100 BME. The city grew rich on the fertile soils surrounding Mount Oracil, as well as mines burrowed deep into the mountains of the, and subsequently was revered throughout Anrel. In the early days of the modern Kingdom of Naretteplugin-autotooltip__small., the state worshipped all the High Gods, but nationalist resentment of the north led to a state cult of Besech, particularly during the Long Warplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLong War

The Long War (219-263 ME) was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the Anrel Isles, between the allied city-states of the Northern League (now the kingdoms of Trésard and Sensatard), and the Kingdom of Narette. It is often bitterly called the Orphans' War, since it went on so long it was fought by two generations of people whose own parents had been killed in the war.viridAnrelmagicAnrelAnrel when whole cities and provinces were burned to his glory.

Although all the gods are now worshipped in Narette, the cult still evokes difficult feelings of Naretian nationalism. His worship is also found less often in Trésard, although hearthstones are still carved with this sigil and fires are still lit with his words. His worship is less ambivalent in the North, where is gift of fire is often a matter of life and death in the chilly highlands.

Besech is also associated with death, the hearth and the dry land that the departed travel to when they die.
