The Rasa

Jump to Subpage in A Quest of Queens Table of Contents

The Rasa were once Asag's servants, primordial lifeforms born of the fires of the world before Yevna claimed the world for her own.

These nightmarish evil spirits persisted even after the Lords Alliance cast Asag's forces out of Arcadia. Those who remain in Midworld have been encased in the mortal bodies of monstrous beastmen. Little is known of their society (or even if they have one), other than that they tend to rule secretly and from the shadows, especially in the Dune Sea of Mamara, corrupting the minds of the Sultans there with promises of power and riches.

The Rasa are immortal like the Yevim, but there is only one generation of them that is constantly reborn and re-implanted into new bodies. It is rumored that the Rasa possess the same shapeshifting abilities as the Changelings, except that their ability to change shape allows for perfect accuracy.

Adventure Hooks

Thematically, the Rasa are specters of the past. They represent an old vengeance that has been left over in the world, and their chaotic forms are a reflection of Asag’s wrath.

The Rasa function best as puzzles to solve, rather than outright encounters to be defeated. A Rasa that has taken the body of a series of victims in order to enact revenge against its true enemy must be rooted out and contained, since it can jump bodies if slain. A Rasa that has possessed a vizier in a royal court is a threat that must be outsmarted by defeating its policies, rather than its physical form. A Rasa that commands a cult to steals children so it can consume their souls must be exposed in order for the cult to abandon what it’s doing and thereby disempower their master.
