Rastris

Rastris is a fictional planet used across speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing game settings. There is no single authoritative depiction; the name generally refers to a world characterized by a strong maritime orientation, diverse ecosystems, and a history of seafaring cultures.

Geography and environment: The planet is usually portrayed as an ocean world with a network of archipelagos and continental shelves. Its climate ranges from temperate to tropical, with extensive coral reefs, mangrove belts, and deep ocean trenches that host a variety of lifeforms. The geography supports a high degree of maritime trade and travel, often making sea routes the principal means of interregional connectivity.

Society and politics: In many versions, Rastri society is organized around city-states or federations that control coastal settlements and navigable waters. Governance tends to emphasize consensus-building, guild representation, and maritime law. Educational and cultural institutions frequently prioritize navigation, cartography, and seamanship.

Economy and culture: The economy typically centers on fishing, trade, shipping, and the extraction or processing of marine resources. Technologies range from traditional sailing to advanced maritime engineering. Cultural practices often celebrate the sea as a source of life and identity, with storytelling, music, and ritual linked to tides and navigation.

In fiction and reception: Rastris has appeared in multiple works and game supplements, with varying details across authors. It is commonly used as a setting that highlights exploration, ecology, and political intrigue in an oceanic world.
