| + | |||
| + | Perched on a cliff overlooking the Sea of Fire, Daramai Delrasu stands. Constructed entirely of black and brown baked stone, Daramai Delrasu appears more like a fortress than any other Resa Sarhi keep, mostly from the teachings of Delrasu herself. The city is separated into tiers, each with its own walls. Members of Delrasu reside in the higher tiers, while others reside in the lower tiers. Outside the walled city, what farmland Daramai Delrasu can maintain exists, mostly with fields of ' | ||

| + | In the center of Daramai Delrasu stands a monumental obelisk of onyx, adorned with line upon line of ancient Raiken script. Here, it is told that Delrasu carved her teachings, her 'Code of Victory', | ||

| + | |||
| + | The Valley of the High Fires is one of the largest, and hottest, steam valleys in Delrasu, and despite its proximity to the eastern pole, it has gained fame in the eyes of many Raiken. This long, winding valley is flanked by countless tributaries of lava and even greater amounts of geysers that spew forth molten rock and fire. Yet, a fast flowing, boiling river carves its path through the valley. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This near impossible landscape draws forth the admiration of those who look upon it, despite its lethality. Like other wondrous places, the Raiken have attached many tales to it, most notably the story of Delran, the first Hero of the High Fires. This has given birth to the practice of bearing the High Fires, entering the valley from one end and exiting through the other. Running this gauntlet is not only dangerous due to the temperature, | ||

| - | ==== Infrastructure ==== | + | Steelgrass appears as the name suggests. Tall, but thin, blades of metal-coated grass that thrives in much of the heat blasted wastes of Delrasu, at least where some shade is present. As plants are exceedingly rare, Steelgrass is incredibly valuable to the inhabitants of Delrasu. It is typically ground into a sort of grain and baked into a metal-rich sort of bread. |
| - | Despite the rough terrain of Ormroth, infrastructure has been built up, at least, as well as the Raiken allow it to be. The most important mountain passes have been secured, highways across the valleys and the mountain chain themselves have been paved, and the Alliance has set up outposts and fortresses within the mountains. | + | === Fauna === |
| - | Due to the environmentalist nature of the Raiken, highways are still few in number. They generally lead to either major Raiken keeps or allow transport across the mountains themselves. | + | ==== Infrastructure/ |
| - | Airfields are strategically placed, as the mountains | + | Infrastructure in Delrasu is sparse at best, due to the challenging terrain, scattered population, and little tactical value. Still, the Alliance has made highways and railways for ease of transport for the population that resides in the wastes to make good on their promise to provide for all Raiken. Airfields |

| - | === The Burning Sun === | + | Delras, the Roshya that embodies decisive action and sure-footedness, |
| + | |||
| + | Delrasu clans are more nomadic than most other clans, as their environment is usually very poor for standard agriculture. Their ideology of being decisive has permeated every aspect of their society. Their fighting styles are swift. Their wars are ended in a matter of days. They do not dwell on past actions and rarely go back on previous decisions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Delras is considered to be a brilliant battlefield tactician, known for taking the initiative in any conflict. Those who value victory are wise to pay homage to her and to seek her guidance for any campaign, long or short. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === The Burning Sun and Twin Moons === | ||
| + | |||
| + | In Delrasu, the sun never leaves sight, always providing its intense and unrelenting light, strong enough to turn the earth to glass. Plants and fauna are hard-pressed to survive under such intense beams, as are Raiken. Shelter from the sun is just as valuable as food or water, making deep valleys and plateaus or mountains extremely valuable resources. | ||
| + | Where in Relatir and Ormroth, Rel and Ral provide light, they provide shade from the ever present sun in Delrasu. Over the course of every cycle, Rel and Ral trek across the bright sky as black orbs, casting a deep shadow in their wake. Unlike natural shadows, the shadows provided by Rel and Ral are seen as ill omens and most Raiken go out of their way to avoid them. Although, this consistent shade does provide strips of more habitable land, so some groups dismiss the notion of ill omens and reside here. | ||
