Rakkia

Rakkia gets its nam from the red desert in the south central region of the Estran continent, bordered on the eastern side by the Dahrvisson Sea and on the western side by the Shuduran plains. It was the first area in Shudura to develop a civilized culture, much of which was adapted from earlier Gephtan refugees.
The word "rakkia" comes from the root syllable ruk, meaning "red." In Rakkian and Shuduran dialects, the prefix "u-" is the definite article (the). Thus, the word u-ruk means "the red (ones)." Ironically, the word "raaka" in the Kainen languages means vicious, brutal, or harsh -- which is precisely the way they were described by the northern peoples they conquered.
