The Tabaxi Isles

## Civilizations

Masses of interconnected islands, each bridged by primordial jungles and volcanos that together form the beautiful ancient world of the untouched Tabaxi Isles. Centralized around three massive islands that contested the Great Split, the Tabaxi Isles have been named thusly after its reign of heritage lines that each govern one of these central isles. Together the Databdara Family's of Al'Hajid, J'orhadi and Numbasai have held their lines every since the Great Split, quickly picking up power and provenance in the wake of the disruption, though the continent itself was only marginally harmed in the aftermath. In recent times, heavy influence and colonization from both the Rikash Empire and Orion Sanction has been pushing further and further into the isles, and rumors of their influence reaching into governmental control has led to wide spread resistance and rebellious piracy by the people...

## History

Following the Great Split and in the few lasting days before the seas flooded back in to fill the vacuous void-like chasm, the Tabaxi Isles were left untouched as momentous spires through the split. In the following years a belief that the isles had been "saved" or blessed by the divine and their fate to be consumed by the split was circumvented by the Gods. The Isles themselves still hold geography that was left untouched in the destruction, primordial landscapes that bend and weave a almost overly-natural basis; the awing and petrified verdant-clad volcanos of the Numbal Isles are a direct reminder of its "divine" natural beauty. Following the flooding in of the oceans, the people of the coast, more notably the incredibly wealthy and powerful Tabaxi Databdara's that once ran the trade of the coasts quickly shifted into the islands in hopes to seize the power vacuum left behind. The Databdara's quickly took control and delegated their power internally, each member of their family's being given a post to rule a segment of their parents/siblings now massive empires...

In the now recovering and seized J'orhadi Badlands, a weird phenomena peered itself through the forming empire as more and more Aasimar children began to be born across the deserts. What was once a rare and often more ominous event, representing divine eyes above latching their attention to a family now bolstered a cultural belief of reclamation. This phenomena continues to this day, with the most notable and influential of these Divine Children being a young Safai Pirya, believed to be the first incarnation of the Hearth of Pilgrimage having leading a displaced community across the sea to the shores of the liberated coast.

Due to its seeming untouched and primordial nature, the shores and verdant jungles of the Isles are home to all manner of dense resources and expansive natural wonders. This has pulled the eyes of the Rikash Empire to seize trade and influence in the isles, domineering its merchant routes and forcing the Databdara Families into a subservient corner. In the Political upheaval small collections of Orion based vessels and navy seemed to also draw interest and following the seizing of prime-trade networks it was uncovered that the Sanction has had an equal hand in dominating influence ever since the split.

## Current Events

* Revolutionary pirate movements have been rumored to have taken route across the Isles; with a few attacks and sudden raiding leading to many primary trade routes having to be entirely circumvented or abandoned by both the Rikash Empire and Orion Sanction.
* The otherwise politically linked and protected Faizan Family, a second cousin family to the J'orhadi Datadbara's, have recently been found slaughtered within their palisade by a unknown assailant. A number of notable and expensive arcane artifacts, that their family had gained notoriety for possessing, were missing following the attack.
