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 Royal Court of Greater Raktam at (4,9) [-70.321,+26.473] is often filled with members of the Court, visiting foreign dignitaries, mercenaries, traders and tourists. From here the royal family directs life of the Court, conducting diplomacy, dispatching military and trade missions. Proceedings are published in the Native section at the official forum site.

• Stone Witch Tavern (9,11) [-70.319,+26.468]. A casual place for a drink and a story, welcoming all raktamites and guests alike. Some of the orwhans have been seen gathering in the place.

• Azguz's Hut at (7,10) [-70.320,+26.470] is home to the raktami shaman Azguz. Half-man, half-wolf, he has been the village's staunchest defender for a long time.

• Wurzug's healing hut is in the northern part of the village (07,04) [-70.323,+26.473]. It has been the spiritual headquarters of the Raktamites for the long time. Elder Nihlia is taking care of the herbal hut nowadays. Healing and the means to carry it out are offered here.

• Blue Hummingbird's tomb (4,10) [-70.321,+26.472]. Founder of the Royal Court, Blue Hummingbird died in March '08 and her stone sarcophagus lies in this sacred place. With her revival in '11, the tomb contains the body of King Baraka, the consort of Queen Monaliza.

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 was originally the alternate home of the deceased Queen, Blue Hummingbird, 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, as well as the southern outpost of Azguz'ktam) 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).

With the decline of the Royal Court of Greater Raktam, control over this extended area is no longer meaningfully exercised.
