AnDY's definitions
A small coastal town in the Wildlands, the area between Sommerlund and Durenor. Virtually the only settlement in the entire region. Like the Wildlands as a whole, Ragadorn is home to a motley crew of Szalls (a weak type of Giaks), pirates and outlaws.
Lone Wolf ends up stranded in the town after his ship sinks in Lone Wolf 2: Fire on the Water. He has to find a way to get transport east to Durenor, while avoiding the dangers of Ragadorn itself. There is also a board game, Ragadorn Ale-House Brawl, included in the Magnamund Companion guidebook. Ragadorn is the kind of place where a brawl would barely make the news, so the game is quite appropriate.
Nominally listed as the "capital" of the Wildlands, although this idea is largely empty in such a desolate and chaotic place.

Concept used in the work of Michel Foucault, to denote the interchangeability and mutual supportiveness of power and knowledge. Because he thought a regime of power always constructs forms of knowledge and a regime of knowledge always institutes a regime of power, he fused the two words into a single concept.
For example, prisons are an example of a regime of power/knowledge: the observation of prisoners and the recording of different categories of criminality are in many ways identical with the process of incarceration itself, as a system of control of people's bodies and of physical spaces.

Mental asylums, schools, armies, etc. are all different examples of regimes of power/knowledge. The way in which people are recorded as elements in these discourses is connected to their subordination to or complicity in particular relations of power.
