Rajaka

= RAJAKA = “From their jungle temple cities and savannah villages they came. Thousands upon thousands landing ashore in Southern Nadhira, Southern Allyria, Dawnshore, and Mytheria’s Southern Horn. They came with ship-fulls of exotic wares, strange customs, and wild ferocity. One day, we will be kneeling to a Rajaki King.” -Caldwen Cutter upon watching droves of Rajaki Refugees flee Anubisia.

 

The Rajaka seem to think they differ greatly in their worlds, but to an outsider they are very similar. Bound to the world and each other in a very spiritual sense, individualism is rare. The proud and noble races of the Rajaka are full of selflessness and compassion. There is also a feral rage deep inside them, but that is a part of their link to their animal spirits.

 

Tall and Graceful
The Rajaka of this realm are bipedal humanoid cats with a similar anatomical structure to humans. They also share many features of their catlike ancestry, from feline ears atop their heads, cat-iris eyes, whiskers and carnivorous teeth to the thick fur that covers their bodies and feline tails.

The Rajaka dress ranges from clothing crafted from the hides of creatures to fine woven garments out of silk. Their smiths fashion great metal arms and armors which are fairly unique to them.

Proud and Feral
The Rajaka are renown for their compassion and selflessness. Their nobility and integrity has a high reputation among other races. They are, however, completely intolerant of those who do not conduct themselves with similar devotion, especially in their presence. Those who awake to find the Rajaka as enemies are reminded of their ferocity. Their feral instincts are the counterpoint to the wisdom, integrity and compassion the Rajaka hold themselves up to, they believe you must possess and control both to have the other. They believe their feral rage and their wisdom springs from the same source, their ancient animal and spirit.

Curiosity and Exploration
Most of the Rajaka leave their homes to go adventuring because, plainly, they are curious about the world. They wish to travel and see the wonders across the realm. Some leave to find employment as guides or trackers. Others follow a mission or become envoys for their people. But most adventurers are the boldest and brightest of this great race, just out exploring the world and satisfying their curiosity.
