**Rajjaszya** is a very distinct culture of free enchanters, witches, and warlocks from different races of Asia and Oceania who were pushed to the forests further and further until they encountered each other and settled behind a majestic peak in an island of Northeast Siberia.

## Etymology

Rajjaszya, which literally translates to "kingdom of the gifted souls" is a combination of "rājya" and "aszya". One of the first elders from an ethnic Santhal group (modern day Jharkhand and West Bengal, Eastern India) presented the Sanskrit word राज्य "rājya" meaning kingship, rule, reign, or kingdom. "Aszya" on the other hand came from a word of unknown origin meaning gifted, beautiful soul.

During the first Supreme Council, the first members of the Court of Chie adopted the name Rajjaszya to represent their entity and their cause to live in harmony while augmenting their abilities.

## Geography

Two islands constitute Rajjaszya - Tengechen, the major island which means '"the flower" in Chukot from the Chukchi ethnic group of extreme Siberia, and Vetvet which means "leaf" in the same language as well. The islands are situated around 90km off Ayon, Eastern Siberia in Russia with coordinates of 69.875923, 165.659439 belonging to the subarctic, taiga biome region of the world. Rajjaszya's major and minor islands have a total area coverage of around 85 square kilometers (32.82 sq mi).

The northern tip of the main island facing the open Arctic Sea serves as the main point of entry. It is landmarked by the minor island, the mermaid's cove, shrine of Saint Columba, and the largest local settlement. The vast frozen forest and hag's point border's the west end of the island. The mountains cover the civilization on its eastern edge. Closest to the mainland Russia is the southern point of the island which is edged by the cliff of the majestic peaks which also house the Court of Chie. The central plain's most prominent landmark is the Chamber of Treasures wherein enchanted artifacts from different Asian civilizations are stored.

### Climate

Due to its location, Rajjaszya is generally experiencing the subarctic taiga climate. Taiga climate is moist enough to promote enough vegetation growth but extremely cold for prolific tree growth. The winters are extremely cold and lasts long, whereas summers are moderately warmer but short.

### Culture

Rajjaszya was able to keep to co-exist the distinct practices of different Asian cultures, including all religious and non-religious beliefs. Music, architecture, and languages continue to exist in its original forms. Although English is the language that most of its population speaks, all other languages are very much alive. Its people also compounded words from different languages to create unique Rajjaszyan terms and words.

## Brief History

### Leadership

**The Court of Chie**, a term coined in reference to the tribunal of the elders of Wisdom as well as the structure that houses the immense hall where councils are held and the residence of its Premier. The tribunal, consisting of sixty seven representatives designated by several races and ideologies that inhabit Rajjaszya, is the existing ruling body of the biggest conglomerate of mortals with power in concealment; seven of which comprise the High Court, arbiters of resolutions and pursuit of edicts. All the council members do not belong to any particular faction; they solely represent the race they belong to in a just and rightful charter, their interest is for all the mortals of their protectorate and the continuous existence of their civilization. The Premier of Chie, supreme leader of the Court personifies the tribunal as a whole and as well as the civilization, he heads the assemblage during periodic and supreme councils.

Supreme Councils are held for the reason of exceptional significance and in the course of Rajjaszaya’s antiquity, three Supreme Councils were held. First of which is the 1669 Synod of Elders at Mt. Kangchenjunga, Nepal, the council that structured the civilization, its binding edict, the mandate of each political structure and its purpose. The 2nd Supreme Council was held after almost a century, the 1767 Conclave of Philosophy at the Altai Mountains situated near the current border where Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan converge. The 2nd Supreme Council recognized the existence of Chuánzhī (船只 which translates to *vessels*), mortals that harbor the formidable power of the five elemental dragons that they discovered during the journey across the Middle Kingdom or present-day China. The 1801 Chukchi Peninsula Assembly, the last Supreme Council established its current location and the militia due to the continuous oppression being held among the captives from their league.
