Fiction:Oceanic Sovereignty of the Razoa

"All life in this realm depends on the purity and harmony of the seas... Those who seek to disrupt the ocean's serenity will find a powerful enemy in the Razoa."

- Mar'reale Brausa ka Sashao

The Oceanic Sovereignty of the Razoa is a nation of (referred to formally as the Oceanic Razoa) inhabiting Koldenwelt's Archipelago and parts of the Tropical Lands. Formerly a collective of divided city-states, the Oceanic Razoa eventually united in Koldenwelt's Adamantine Age to form the constitutional monarchy that rules today. The Oceanic Razoa are very territorial and are not always very welcoming of outsiders, which can be attributed to their protective nature of the ocean and suspicion of unfamiliar people after the events of the War of the Eye. However, they are very loyal allies if one can earn their trust.

They are very notable for their civilization being almost entirely situated underwater, creating unique styles of architecture and crafts to adapt to the submarine environment. While this has limited their progress in some fields (the Oceanic Razoa have not developed any form of gunpowder), it has also strengthened them culturally and scientifically in other fields, making their cultural items and technologies highly exotic and valuable to civilizations that have made contact with them. This uniqueness alongside Razoan patronage of the arts can make the Razoa somewhat arrogant and cause them to look down on races they deem significantly less refined than them.
