Radarap and Irabend (known in BR colloquially as Rada’s Wrap and Ira’s Bend) are twin settlements located on the continent of Pteris. Their residential populations are primarily Human, but it is common to see all variety of travelers passing through.
History[edit | edit source]
Radarap and Irabend began as trails which some of the earliest Human settlers of Pteris would follow between towns (often with sherpa guides to provide direction and ward off hostile forces in the lawless Badlands). The primary trail split and wrapped around a massive dune located near the border between the Badlands and Kharmaja desert, with Rada’s Wrap trailing along the desert side and Ira’s Bend along the Badlands side, before re-merging at the approach towards Brightwater. By the PR era, the outposts along these trails grew into two modestly sized villages as new waves of settlers arrived on the continent.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The names of these settlements derived from Monk siblings Rada and Ira, nomadic sherpas who defined the trails around 180 BR. Rada’s Wrap was dubbed by Ira and Ira’s Bend was dubbed by Rada. As the settlements became more established, these names were streamlined as Radarap and Irabend.
- Radarap was the birthplace of Maverick Tabernackle before his mother relocated with him to Amusa.
- The name Radarap initially came from an accidental amalgamation of the words "radar" and "map" made during pregame planning for Session XXVII of Ancients Alive, marking Maverick's birthplace on a map as "Off the Radarap" in central Pteris.
