[edit] Location
Raquia is located in north-central Paradise and is bounded by Machon in the North, Zebul to the Southeast, and in the Southwest by Araboth.
[edit] Geography
Raquia is the smaller of Paradise's two major inhabited regions; the other is Xanadu further South. Although Raquia's adjacent regions are grassy and open, the Angelic forces who dwelt here long ago left many residencies and resources in their wake.
The following major buildings are available:
- Two Clockwork Towers (20,15 and 15,10)
- The Panopticon (Four tiles in a square, the NW corner of which is at 16,15)
- A Euphoria Asylum [(19,10) (19,11)]
- A Vault of Enlightenment [(19,14) (20,14)]
- A Smithy (17,13)
In addition, the alert traveler will observe several Cottages, a pair of Inns, a Tavern, and a few incalculably ancient Ruins.
The Panopticon overlooks the Southeast shore of a lake of glittering, pure water, basking eternally in the diffuse light of Paradise. The Neighborhood of Raquia claims much of the immediate shallows, extending into the lake to a distance (on average) of two spaces.
[edit] Recent History
Many Angelic factions make their homes in the Raquia area, but its makeup is still in flux with the advent of the Straylight Era. Demonic raiders target local strongholds and particularly the Vault with moderate frequency.
[edit] Travellers' Tips
A blessing and a curse for the Raquia region is its relatively great distance from most portals. This makes it relatively safe to sleep here even unhidden, if you are of Good alignment. Evil is likely to be killed on sight, considering the very high concentration of Angelic might in the area. The downside to this security from passers-by is that it becomes fairly arduous to travel from Raquia to major destinations on other planes.
