Connotations[?]

May refer to places that have been touched by the gods (e.g. Kyne’s involvement with the Throat of the World). Unknown if it is strictly religious or if it can refer to anything held in reverence. Also unknown what dragons would consider ‘sacred’ given they themselves are divine.

Etymology[?]

May derive from rah ‘god’.

Notes[?]

Possibly from English ‘revere’.
