Razus

Razus is the Greece/Egypt-inspired region where the events of Pokemon War & Peace take place. For information about routes and mapping, please see the Route Mapping page. The demonym of the inhabitants of Razus is Razusian.

**PLEASE NOTE!** Some of the information about locations and routes in this page is out of date. Please double-check with the staff or a more up-to-date page if you find conflicting information.

## Region Overview

Razus is based on both Greece and Egypt, and many, though not all, of its Pokémon draw influence from there.

The region's name is derived from Ra and Zeus, which we mixed together to create a single word. Ra and Zeus were both considered Kings of all Gods, the first one being the God of sun in Egyptian mythology & the second one being the God of lightning in Greek mythology. They both symbolized rule and order. This reflects the Monarchy installed in Razus, how Mira Corporation tries to rule over the whole region by force and also how the people of Razus try to bring order back and establish peace.

## Areas of Interest

### Nabawe Mine

This complex underground system is the perfect place to train your pokemon, since the pokemon get stronger the deeper you go. The tunnels are round and well lit (for the most part), with huge golden chunks sticking out of the walls. Even tho the people of Razus mined there for centuries, the riches are abundant.

### Tomb of Kings

An ancient temple bult on the side of a cliff, it is possible that this location has an important role in the plot of the game. Many stone statues portraying Miasmadox border the outside wall of the temple.

### Razia Mountain Pass

Sinuous paths through the Razia Mountain Belt. Be cautious not to fall! This is the only passage leading to the DLC Area.

### Khansu Forest

A deep & lush forest circling a round clearing in the middle, where lots of flowers grow. It is starting to feel a bit more Greek than Egyptian. In the clearing you can find a really tall Obelisk (legendary spot?).

### Ferry Terminal

Your typical ferry terminal. From here you can take the ferry back to Port Sayends, or to the many Islands of Razus & Tefnata. Atenos has been using this terminal as a trading post for many years.

### Mount Vulkenos

The biggest mountain in Razus. Some say its a really old dormant volcano, but no one knows for sure. About halfway to the top, you can reach the mining city of Talassa. From there you have to take the tunnels to reach the top. From there you have a beautiful view of Razus.

### Victory Road

The victory road gradually ascends on a hill with beautiful landscapes. Where the terrain becomes too steep, you enter an underground tunnel in a huge marble cliff that takes you all the way to the top of the hills. Pokemon here are more powerful than anywhere in Razus. When you come out of the tunnels, you face the great staircase leading to the Pokemon League.

### Pokemon League

A huge marble agora/temple with many columns, golden statues, a long staircase with braziers on each side of it. At the top of the stairs, you see the temple in front of you, with a stylized Pokemon Center & Pokemart (they're both made of marble too) on each side of it. The lobby is full of decorations, gold trinkets, beautiful carperts and urns (like the old greek temples). Elite 4 Rooms description soon\*

### Koloso Island

This ancient & mysterious island was deserted by humans a long time ago. You can still find ruins of the ancient civilizations on it (similar to Atlantis), along with an old maze to explore. Nature & vegetation have taken the island back.

### Protayus Island

This island is steeped in vegetation and full of rugged and harsh environments. The people living on this island are really proud for that matter, and even kinda stubborn. There's only one settlement on Protayus Island, being the small city of Protayus. The island is mostly rocky and mountainous on one side, and on the other side is the city.

### Taelkinis Island

Surrounded by boats & ships, this island is known as a hub, or as a marine pit stop. The people of this island is basically a mix of all the surrounding islands' folks.

### Paralos Island

This island consists of marble cliffs, green plains, 2 towns, and what remains of the Paralos Lake. It's now known as the Paralos Salt Flat.

### Mira Corp HQ

The HQ has many floors to it and most of them are underground. The main reception floor is just a lively area with modern designs and natural aspects to it like plants and indoor gardens. The elevator can take you to 100s of floors but most are just offices. The top floor is home to the Mira Corp leader. The lower floors hide labs in which in-humane experiments with pokemon occur.

### Abyssal Ruins

Just north of Koloso Island, these ruins were originally built by an ancient civilization. They eventually got submerged by the sea, and the people either left the island or disappeared. Big stone pillars are sticking out of the water, which over the years have been degraded by the waves to look like regular stone spikes. Inside, you can find a big colorful mural depicting people locking up a fish-like pokemon in the ruins. The waters surrounding the ruins are especially dangerous for some reason.

### Resonant Valley

One of the most challenging paths in all of Razus. The ups and downs of this canyon-like area are beyond any other, and its walls seem to be really got at reflecting sounds, thus providing really clear echoes.

### Bleak Hollow

The frozen stalactites & stalagmites combined with a heavy fog make this cavern a place of fantastical illusions. Ancient tribes of Razus have been using the place to store fresh food so it lasts longer, taking example on the local Pokémon.
