General 

The ancient name of this shard "Raka" is seldom used, the surrounding nations mostly refer to it as Kaladesh. A name they took on 600 years into The Cycle.

Kala meaning good or superior and desh meaning country.

The institutes of power on this shard see themselves as risen above the surrounding "primitive" shards.

Anthropologists from Minamo seem to believe the change in mindset coincided with the humanoids of the shard learning to harness the incredible power of the physical mana manifestation known as Thranite.

The exploitation of this powerful substance gave rise to an incredible boom in the shards technology and wealth. Five organizations struck fast and exploited this powerful new resource, each with their own specialities, they formed a cabal together called the Consulate:

Ordo Templi Orientis The clergy who believe they people of Raka are the chosen of Brigh. They use various Thranite infused machines to bolster their troops. They are the origin and they are the primary enforcers of The Suppression.

Vah haath jo khilaata hai, also known as "The hand that feeds" used the power of Thranite to industrilise the western plains, supplying massive amounts of food to the citizens of the shard.

the Vaastukaar or the Architects are a fraternal order of interlectuals who seem to be the first to learn how to extract the power from the Thranite. Their prowess in exploiting this material to create extraordinary technological leaps is unmatched.

The Extractors Union are a collection of many tribes and would be entrepreneurs looking to exploit the demand for more Thranite, they now own a monopoly on mining the substance. 

Saaph lainen or "Clean lines" are a bankers, bureaucrats and logistics cooperation. If something is happening, they probably ordered, financed, moved and buildt it.

These five powerhouses of industry, finance and knowledge stand today as the wealthiest and most powerful enteties on Raka and maybe even all the shards of Kaldashia, they hoard their wealth and knowledge, and amass their power, but to what end?

Few stand to fight against their awesome might. But one group in particular seems to be a constant thorn in their side.

Arcane supremacy is an underground terrorist organisation whose primary goal is to end The Suppression. However, symphathy amongst the general populus towards the group is low, as it seems chaos always lies in their wake.

Nature

This shard is one of incredible beauty, but also extremes of climate and typography. The north western consists of vast tundras, treacherous glaciers and snow tipped peaks. 

Towards the centre of the shard, the land consists of is fertile floodplains surrounding a vast cityscape known as Ghirapur the city of wonders. The plains are provided with water all year from the surrounding mountain ranges on either side of the city.

The southwestern part of the shard is more flooded, with islands peeking through. These range from mostly flat in typography to skyhigh, and a few volcanos dot the landscape as well.

Another unique feature of the shard is for its nature to form spirals and hypergeometry in everything from the streams to the clouds, the fauna and the flora.
