Description
The Zakharan goddess Ragarra represents the jungle and its violent nature. She wants to destroy any civilization that wants to tame the wilderness around it, and is therefore considered a savage goddess, i. e. a deity opposed to the culture of Enlightenment predominant in the Land of Fate.
Ragarra's symbols include a cyclone, a green three-fingered claw and a baby crocodile biting its own tail.
The deity, sometimes also called Raggara, is depicted as a crocodile-headed female with the wings of a bat. She fills a similar role in the Land of Fate as the god Malar does in Faerûn.
Her cult was driven underground long ago because of its anarchical nature, but has become stronger in recent years, cowing parts of the local population with acts of violence. Most of her worshipers reside in or around the cities of Dihliz, Rog'osto and Kadarasto, where they have secret lairs.
