Notes:

  • The above is a territory map, not a map of jungle density (which constantly changes). Therefore, the jungle and village squares will very likely be colored differently in-game than they are here. Squares within the village will be displayed as "Raktam" on the game map, while jungle squares will be displayed as "Jungle".
  • The numbers on the map are merely for local reference and are not related to GPS coordinates at all.

Points of interest within Raktam

(xx,yy) coordinates refer to the territory map above, while [xx.xxx,yy.yyy] are GPS coordinates.
  • The Summer Palace of the Queen of the Royal Court of Greater Raktam at (4,10) is often filled with members of the Court, visiting foreign dignatories, mercenaries, traders and tourists. From here the Queen directs life of the Court, conducting diplomacy, dispatching military and trade missions, and healing Raktam natives. Proceedings of the Court are published in the Natives forum at the Official Forums site.
  • Azguz's Hut at (7,10) is occupied by Azguz, Protector of Raktam. Half-man, half-wolf, Azguz is Raktam's staunchest defender.
  • Crowjane's Bank, located at (5,10), is the leading financial institution within Raktam following the demise of the Imperial Bank of Shartak, and has an affiliation with the Templar Bank based in York.
  • Wurzug's healing hut is at (07,04) or [-70.323,+26.473] in the northern part of the village. Wurzug "has been busy preparing healing herbs and has left plenty of small bundles of herbs hanging from the ceiling whilst they dry out." His hut is the spiritual headquarters of the Raktamites. Healing and the means to carry it out are offered here.

Greater Raktam

Greater Raktam is the extended area of Raktam sovereign dominion.

The main feature is the Winter Palace (Chikram), slightly to the north of Raktam. Once a safe haven for pirates, the Winter Palace is now the alternate home of the Queen and is a strategic northern outpost.

Greater Raktam consists of the Province of Babuwabia extending to the northern shore, the Province of Umslopogaasia (containing Santa's Grotto, or Grottoram) extending to the southern shore with its western boundary at the Margaret River, the Province of the Pirates' Graveyard (west of Raktam to the mountain), and the Province of the Empty Quarter (north-east of Raktam).

Commonwealth of Greater Raktam, The French and the Creedy Republic

In December '07 Greater Raktam and the Independent Republic of Fort Creedy, north of Durham, entered into a commonwealth. A Raktam garrison consisting of outsider mercenaries and Raktami regulars is based within the armoury of the Creedy Republic. Citizens of the Creedy Republic are welcome in Raktam, and vice versa. The agreement with the French is similar in nature.

Groups Operating in Raktam

Raktam has the following groups operating in it:
