A small [[race association is::rakash|Rakash]] village some distance from [[Langenfirth]] out in the wilds of [[Therengia]].
A secluded [[Rakash]] village nestled between majestic mountains and old oak forest, quietly tucked away West of [[Langenfirth]], in the wilds of [[Therengia]]. <br>
Gentle foothills of rolling small-town farmland framed by sparse pine trees race from the mountains, giving way to the deceptively smooth blue-black water of Dzive Ezer. The comfortable village solely a cluster of houses and associated buildings scattered along the shore's clearing like flax in the wind. A serene landscape of tranquility pierced only by the occasional noisy chipmunk's warning barks in the distance. Candle-lit dirt tunnels freshened by the lake's scent, meander underground, providing quick travel to all corners of this self-contained community. An authentic, traveler's retreat from the hustle-bustle. <br>

After having been a large, nomadic pack for many years since they had fled [[Lyras]] in their Western homelands, the Rakash who would form Siksraja secretly petitioned the Baron of Therengia for leave to settle upon a small area of land within his domain, so that they might finally begin to recreate some of the lifestyle their ancestors had once held dear.

Government, history, and background

History

After having been a large, nomadic pack for many years since they had fled Lyras in their Western homelands, the Rakash who would form Siksraja secretly petitioned the Baron of Therengia for leave to settle upon a small area of land within his domain, so that they might finally begin to recreate some of the lifestyle their ancestors had once held dear.
The Baron, understanding of the fears of these Rakash and their desire to live in peace and safety, as well as out of compassion for everything they had endured and lost during their ancestors' war with Lyras, allowed them this. Thus, the village of Siksraja (Tiny Home) was born, and thus its residents felt deeply indebted and grateful to the Baron who had taken them in, protected their hidden location, and provided them with a great deal of autonomy in exchange for only their pledge of loyalty to the Province should their help ever be needed to protect its citizens from danger.
Over the years, several wandering Rakash merchants and other Rakash who had been scattered during the diaspora joined the original inhabitants when the village elders decided to reach out to them, and the village expanded a small bit, beginning to erect some more permanent buildings where previously they had continued to use very portable ones out of feeling the need to be able to flee again at a moment's notice.
The village elders finally felt safe enough to reveal their location after Lyras' final death in 397, and the still fairly small village was shown to outsiders by the merchant Cefrit of Odcoru, who was amongst its residents. A formal road was cleared in preparation for this, and Siksraja has been accessible to visitors, and to those Rakash who might decide to move there, ever since.
