Khorat woke suddenly to a loud scream echoing from his brother's room.
Khorat said as he sat down next to his brother, helping him to sit despite his broken and wracked frame.
Khorat left that day, pulled by the spirits, by the Green, hoping that where ever they took him they would show him the key to healing the curse of his people, the curse his brother suffered so heavily from.
It is located on the Khorat Plateau, bordered by the Mekong River to the north and east, and by Cambodia to the south.
The plateau consists of two main plains: the southern Khorat plain is drained by the Mun and Chi rivers, while the northern Sakon Nakhon plain is drained by the Loei and Songkhram rivers.
40% of the population is concentrated in the provinces of Khorat, Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani and Khon Kaen.
