Summary: a world populated near-entirely by anthropomorphic life, Rasha plays home to an innumerable variety of animal crossbreeds from the expected (different kinds of the same species) to the truly bizzare (such as reptile/mammal, bird/insect etc or even multi-way crossbreeds of three or more parents) and is divided between four distinct layers, each with their own cultures and ways of living
Size: 5.6 earths at outer layer tapering gradually to 2.5 earths at innermost
Age:
Da (innermost)- 5.6 billion years
Geography:
Raei- consisting almost entirely of hyper-modern cityscapes, Raei Rasha’s landscape is the quintessential futurist vista with only small parks and managed lakes to break up the the otherwise fully developed terrain
Taei- the definition of rural, Taei Rasha is predominately farmland with large cultivated fields, immense pastures, and rolling hills
La- akin to the ancient Amazon, La Rasha is a 90/10 mixture of dense jungle and sparse villages surrounded and often bisected by high mountains and ocean-sized lakes
Da- an untamed wilderness by any definition, Da Rasha is almost entirely unsettled, its wild variety of landscapes a treat to anyone brave or insane enough to venture there
Flora:
Raei- due to its near-total development into the symbol of hyper-modernity it is, Raei Rasha has very little in the way of plant life, what little does exist consists almost exclusively of fruit trees, ornamental flowers and easily manageable grasses
Taei- the main source of food for its citizens as well as those living above them in Raei, the vast majority of Taei Rashnian flora consists of food crops for both civilized citizens and livestock with patches of natural plant life between farms and in small wooded areas as yet untouched
La- second only to Da Rasha in terms of variety, La boasts an immense assortment of mainly wild flora varying from the harmless and edible, such as Burnberries, to the extremely toxic, such as Bloodbane, and the hallucinogenic, such as Zarehide, with new species being discovered nearly daily as the more wild areas are explored
Da- by far the most wild layer of the world, Da Rasha plays home to the most diverse array of plant life in several worlds, with many species being so unusual as to defy conventional science, a fact made all the more pronounced when reconciled with the knowledge that, of the more than 16000 individual territories, only less than 1% have been explored to any significant degree
Non-sentient Fauna-
Raei- owing once more to its extreme degree of development, the only fauna, excluding the Raei Rashnians themselves, come in the form of pets imported from off-world
Taei- as the main agricultural center for the more civilized, Taei Rasha’s fauna is almost exclusively livestock and pack animals, with the occasional homestead pet or wild pest such as birds or mice
La- in the more wild regions the fauna of La Rasha is incredibly diverse, consisting of creatures ranging from the exotic, such as the near sentient-intelligent Maballa, to the extremely simple such as basic cats
Da- once more the leader in diversity of species, Da Rasha is home to a mind-boggling variety of non and semi-sentient fauna, with the Da Rashnians themselves more akin to wild animals than civilized people and some species of unevolved life resembling creatures of myth such as dragons, hydras, and even demons
Culture
Raei- Raei Rashnians are the closest in terms of culture to more human races with an array of cultures all cohabiting the same world in relative peace, though some disputes and even wars have occured throughout history
Taei- Taei Rashnian culture is quite similar to Amish, with a disdain for technology and an emphasis on hard work and religious devotion, their entire lives devoted to working their fields and caring for their families
La- a purely tribal society, La Rashnians live multifaceted lives consisting of both survival and pleasure, religion being nearly non-existent as most consider it counterproductive to survival
Da- wild by any definition, Da Rashnians have more in common with wild animals than true sentience life, the only thing differentiating them from wild beasts being their family ties and scant attempts at verbal communication
Biology: all true Rashnians are an anthropomorphic species capable of interbreeding with any variety of their own kind, Females are particularly unusual due to their innate ability to store and mix the sperm of their mates to create tailor-made children as well as their more sinister ability to transfer fertilized embryos to anyone they have sexual contact with regardless of gender, forming a false womb in their male carriers
History: very little is actually known about the ancient history of the planet, even by its own people, with only events transpiring in the last million years known to any useful extent, though the formation of the planet’s layers is attributed to a race known only as “the uplifters”
