Though originally only attainable through festival means, since the opening of the Rakash town of Siksraja these items have become much more commonplace in the markets. Many of them can be found at Siksraja or crafted by a smith, but others can still only be gained through quests or festivals.

Weapons

Many of the weapons that the Rakash have traditionally used have a similar counterpart in the Eastern lands of Kermoria though a select few are unique to the Rakash. Regardless if there is a common version of these weapons which others may be familiar with, it is implied that the design of the weapon is different enough to warrant the item to be classified as its own version.

Armor

There are limited known types of Rakash-styled armor, though there are pieces of standard armor which are sized to fit Rakash better than other races. Due to them being standard in every other way, those armor pieces are not listed here because they are not specific to the race. What are listed here, are armor pieces which are a unique creation that has been made by the Rakash for use from Rakash.

Armor Types

Battle Odaj "Battle Robe": The term battle odaj always refers to armor, and never just clothing. It is a more recent development, having first begun as makeshift armor during the fights against the undead prior to the Great Migration. Rakash of that era would sometimes add scraps of metal or leather to their odaj, affixing them in whatever way they could to give themselves a measure of additional protection.

Though superficially differing from the more common armored robes mainly in the odaj-esque styling, a modern battle odaj is a much less haphazard creation and is actually quite difficult to make due to the balancing of the armored properties with the movement and flow expected in an odaj. Usually crafted either wholly from leather or from a combination of chain atop cloth, a battle odaj will always cover both shoulders and be ankle length. Oftentimes, a battle odaj will have some sort of decorative pauldrons as well. When these are present, they are most likely to be designed to reflect the religious leanings of the wearer.
