This section contains canon info from officially published sources |

Formerly an island of terror, Sri Raji is a domain in the Verdurous Lands cluster ruled by the Maharaja Arijani.
The Verdurous Lands cluster does not have a moon with potentially interesting consequences for lycanthropes having some part of the lunar cycle as their trigger condition. Equally, there should be no tides.
Biology
Sri Raji is primarily rainforest, and as such it contains a rich assortment of tropical plant and animal life. Common threats include tigers and carnivorous plants such as tri-color fronds.
