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.

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).
