The World of Razhai Wiki

**Welcome to the World Of Razhai!**
Welcome to the Razhai D&D wiki! This is going to be a hub for all the lore for the fictional world of Razhai. Everything from characters, locations, events, and just about everything in-between! It can all be found right here. This wiki is available to my friend group who will also be contributing pages to this wiki. Links to different pages will be highlighted in **BLUE.**

## Overview

The world of Razhai is a fictional world that I have been day dreaming about for as long as I could read and write. It's a vast fictional world that takes inspiration from a lot of my favorite stories that influenced me significantly. These works include but are not limited to,

* Lord of the Rings,
* Dark Souls
* Akira
* Various anime (Naruto, Attack on Titan, Hunter x Hunter, and a LOT more)
* The Dark Tower series
* Darkest Dungeons
* Cyberpunk 2077
* Fallout//Elder Scrolls
* The legend of Zelda
* Probably a lot more, I consume a lot of media

All of these works as well as many more have influenced my creativity and world building a lot and it definitely shows throughout my work. The main goal that I set out with when creating Razhai was a seemingly simple one but actually quite hard to execute. The question I asked myself was *How do I combine medieval swords and shields, western gunslinging, and futuristic technology all while having magic sprinkled in?* This turned out to be quite challenging because those three major types of fiction don't blend very well together. A knight in shiny armor didn't mix very well with a cowboy who could shoot him down from several feet away. Cowboys didn't mix well with cyberpunk cyborgs who can shoot laser beams from their eyes. So I got to work brainstorming and think I came up with a system that is both logical and allows me to integrate almost any genre or idea I could come up with in my story.

The main story of Razhai has incorporated all three of those themes in what I believe is a pretty believable way, at least the core logic behind the world. Put very simply, Razhai was a world with very advanced technology, the kind with flying cars, a cure to cancer, and A.I that could teach itself. This society of advanced technology was all wiped out in a major nuclear war however wiping a lot of their history, culture and technology away. The idea of magic comes into play when the planet starts to crack due to the nuclear war. In this fictional universe the planet has what is essentially a soul and due to the nuclear war it starts to leak out from the core of the planet where it was kept. This introduces an element of magic that affects the whole world of Razhai and is very important to a lot of the concepts, characters and locations in the story. The bombs used in the war were radioactive meaning that radiation and surviving a radioactive wasteland are also a central point for the core of the world building. Humans managed to survive this nuclear war and start to repopulate the earth, but due to the radiation life is extremely hard and survival is only for the strong. The uneven nature of the nuclear war means that some areas weren't as targeted as others just like how if a nuclear war happened in America the most major cities (New York, L.A, Washington D.C, etc) would suffer the worst damage. Since some areas didn't suffer as much nuclear damage they are able to rebuild faster and produce a stronger, less harsh society due to an easier time surviving. This allows there to be a divide in the technology available in the story. The people in the most advanced societies have access to plumbing and computers while people in irradiated wastelands mainly use stone tools just to survive. This allows different areas to have different levels of technology and allows for many different story ideas. The level of technology people have access to can range from primitive stone tools, to pre-electricity societies, industrial societies and advanced technological societies.

Overall I hope you enjoy going through this wiki and exploring the ideas my friends and I came up with. I hope you have as much fun learning about the lore of our world as we did making it! To get started on learning about our world start here (**Razhai**). This is the main page about the world and the history that sets the foundation for every other page on this wiki. After that feel free to explore any of the different tabs to find the creation of our friends and I. That's all from me, have a fun time reading this! - Big Ben
