The land of Murafia (audiobook universe)

Murafia is a mythical realm/physical plane created by a creator god named Iya. Although a part of a larger continent, the land mass known as Murafia is the only known world to the characters within the fiction, approximately slightly over 7 million square miles filled with humans living alongside other humanoid creatures of the forest with thousands of years of history,

Just like Earth, this realm is a free-will realm where souls who incarnate in this physical dimension can choose between good and evil and must transcend duality to obtain enlightenment. And in this tale, the civilizations of Murafia are in the early stages of technological and spiritual evolution. These tales are based on their movement through prehistoric times, with technological, solar-punk elements creating ancient, advanced imagery infused with nature.

Name meaning.

The word Murafia is an imaginary word conjured by the author, and in the lore of Murafia, “Mu” is short for moon and “Ra” is short for Ra, the sun god. Together, Murafia means the land of the sun and moon. The ancient religions of this universe are roughly based on the mythology and religion of the Earth realm. You will find many parallels among Hinduism, Kemetic science, African history, and quantum theory; references to all three, and more, occur throughout the stories. Like Ra being used as the name of the plane,

Inhabitants of Murafia//

Ozian (the Oziza): ancient human-like beings who were the first conscious beings to inhabit the Murafian realm. They are wise beings with immense power who can grant pure-hearted humans special abilities or even weapons imbued with celestial power. They are rarely seen by humankind and have settlements in remote locations in almost every territory. Their skin complexion can be dark brown, and their eye color can be blue, neon blue, or neon green, with mild cat-like facial features and coiled, kinky hair; they are known to keep their hair in long, radiant locks.

Humans: in the realm of Murafia, there are 3 distinct races of humans

-Elesian – the most common type of humanoid that has a similar look and complexion to the early humans that inhabit our earth realm in prehistoric history.

-Rassarian- these people are not too different looking from the Elesians, known to have a darker tone to the skin due to their exposure to the desert sun, and fiery reddish orange hair or a light brown. Known for their wizardry and building of celestial armor

- Funganese- these are the only few in Murafia that share common ancestry with the Ozian people in their distant past, so they have traits of the first inhabitants, but they are mostly 80 -90 percent human in their genetic makeup. Many Funganese people have woolly, violent hair with deep coils; elders are known to grow their hair into long locks. Their eyes are almost always neon green or hazel.

Claymen: ancient beasts like humans who live underground in the surrounding desert areas of Rasariar. They're not all evil, but most of them are savage and warlike. Their skin is pale and blue, and their eyes are fluorescent blue or white, with no pupils. The men and women are tall and abnormally strong. They can reach 6 to 8 feet tall on average. The claymen are also known to feast on human flesh.

 

Ubatas: small, dwarf-like creatures that live in the Midland Komanu territories, known for their collecting of metal and weapons forging and building mountain tunnels. Small groups of them have kingdoms in the forest areas. Forest-dwelling ubatas are also known for weapon-making, but unlike their mountain-dwelling counterparts, they focus on non-metal weapons and archery. On average, an Ubata is anywhere between 3.5 and 4.5 feet tall. They have pale green skin, large noses, and full lips.
