Zendrolion’s Rakasta 35,000 to 3,000 BC

This map was the fifth in a series of rakasta migration maps created by Simone Neri. He featured them in his project on the rakasta and their history. As with the first four, the fifth entry used his Precataclysmic map as a base. Since it brought the series right up to the eve of the Great Rain of Fire, it was the last one to do this; from the next entry, they would use the familiar Master Set map as their base.

By this time, the rakasta breeds had all been firmly established, and the legend reflected this in its content. From here onwards the focus of the series would be population movements rather than evolving subspecies.
