Rangiwhero used to be the site of an ancient civilisation before it sank beneath the waves during Penjarre. It has only recently emerged exactly 2000 years later, Currently it is rather barren but attempts are being made to terra-form it in preparation for eventual colonisation. Many civilisations are attempting to stake claims on it, including Destiny. The Churches of the Powers of Light have also set up outposts in order to 'convert the local savages' but, so far, their efforts have met with unexpected resistance from the local spirits.

The culture on Rangiwhero was very much like that found in some places in the Islands of Adventure. When it sank beneath the waves, (cause still unknown), the survivours fled to populate the surrounding islands. Much was lost with the stories of an ancestral home falling into myth and legend.

Rangiwhero contained one of the Seven Ancient Cities, namely Pasifika. Also, located inland, is a portal to the plane of Palaeolithica.

The Gentlefolks Exploratory Society currently has its base near the ruins of Upper Pasifika.
