Tentative ideas for PC races in Myoshima (and Patera in general)
by Giampaolo AgostaRakasta subraces
We have the Domestic (civilised, more peaceful), Alley Rakasta (standard breeds), Sherkasta and Cloud Pardasta (Rajahstan?, Surabayang), Black Pardasta (Rajahstan) and Mountain Rakasta (barbarians) breeds.
These Domestic types may appear, especially in Selimpore and Kompor-Thap:
- Siamese (Vichien Mat): short hair, cream coat with markings -- two classes, commoner and noble
- Sacred Birman: long hair, cream coat with darker spots; priests of Shima/Ganetra and Kata Ng
- Burmese (Thong Daeng): solid black/blue coat, short hair
- Korat (Si-Sawat): solid silver-grey coat, short hair; lucky rogues
- Selimpore (Singapura): golden ivory coat, short hair; merchants descended from the Nueteki Myoshiman house
