The Chhmathom (Khmer culture Pardastas)

by Marc Saindon

South of Yasuko (see map), there is room for the Pardasta (the Leopard Rakasta). For additional (fan) lore, this is an allied nation to Yasuko, although one settled by refugees from Kompor-Thap (who could have been allies of the dissident Rakasta Daimyos). The Chhmathom (Google-translated from "Big Cat") are more insular than the Yasukans, and do not share the same level of cosmopolitanism - humans and non-Rakastas are few and foreign.

Their holdings are mostly in the jungle, although they do build impressive temples for their monastic orders, Monks that alternate between contemplative life in awe to nature and the more aggressive practices of a Muay Thai sort of martial arts (enhanced with big panther claws...). While isolationists, they plan defending themselves against the neighboring Jungle Orcs.
