Rahikand

The League of Rasikani Cities, also known as the Rasikani League or just Rasikand is a league (federation) of 8 city-states on the Eidoran sea coast, and the last remnants of the Rasikani Empire that controlled large parts of Eidora for centuries in ancient times. While the culture has adapted and evolved over the millennia, the modern Rasikani remain the direct successors of the ancient people.

The current league was formed in the 1700's, though the Rasikani consider it to be the same league as was formed in the 1100's, just with several intermissions. Even though periodically conquered or divided, the Rasikani have developed a long tradition of trade and commerce, and have long held much power in the Eidoran sea. There were originally 12 cities in the league, but four of those have either been lost, or are no longer inhabited by Rasikani.

In the Age of Turmoil, the cities have experienced varying degrees of issues, but one thing remains clear: they are united against any foreign threat.

The end of the Empire
There was once a magnificent throne,

Who much of Eidora did own,

But the plague hit the king,

And the enemy did sting,

And now, there's only ruins of stone.

Behind the scenes

 * The Rasikani are based upon the Etrurian people: rather than "Rome" rising to become the dominant force, the Rasikani did.
 * The country as a whole is based upon the Etrurian leagues, which consisted of 12 cities each, and is somewhat based upon the Venetian republic and its mercantile practices.
