Rasini

The Rasini were initially a branch of the Kassani that moved east in search of a more fair and kind land to cultivate than the cold of Kassathia. They arrived in the fertile plains of Bathae and made it their home from which they would grow and blossom. Being from the cold north, the Rasini were warlike and competitive. They fought over the few rare resources they could find, and moving to a more wealthy land didnt ease their bloodlust. The Rasini kingdoms of Bathae were rarely if ever at peace, and the constant armsrace between them fueled the technological and military advancement of their realms. They initially worshipped the war goddess Tirthinae which was their name for Gemiknight. Her symbol became their symbol, and is the reason that the Rasini represent themselves with the golden cup which is usually adorned with wings. They are the last remaining branch of the ancient Kassani though most Rasini have long since abandoned any real connection to that label.
