The Rakers are the original home of most of the humanoids that have infested the Bone March, and there are plenty more where they came from.
The mountains are named after the series of sharply-tipped peaks characteristic of this area. The mountain dwarves who still live within the Rakers have tended to retreat into deeper and deeper subterranean realms with the passage of time, settling in caverns of extraordinary beauty and complexity above the underdark lands, which can be accessed in only a handful of places below the peaks.[1]
"The Rakers are the southern arm of the Griff Mountains, so named because their sharp peaks appear to rake the sky. The southern terminus of these mountains become the Flinty Hills in Nyrond. The Rakers are home to many orcs, goblins, giants, and other fearsome creatures, but dwarf enclaves draw out wealth from these peaks and ward the passes and valleys against major incursions into Ratik."[2][1]
