Born the second born son of a low level nobleman, The first born son will be heir, Ratel was sent to serve the church. Would one of the happy notheastern lands; Anioch or Baalthaaz or Ifthaaz work ok for that sort of thing? Or should he be further north, or should I change the background?

Considering the area is in Libinos, yes the dress and style would be more middle eastern. Khemet is basically Egypt under a pharaoh. Your background is up to you as to how extensive you want to be. Babylonian works also for worshipers of Mitra.

with + 2 constitution and the feat Toughness and favored class: The Jaata are native to the lands of far northeastern Libynos. Despite its location at a high northern latitude, Jaati is kept warm by the waters of the Great Eastern Current, along with the odd effects of the Tropic of Arden. Most Jaata live in coastal cities or villages that line the many rivers of the region, while much of the interior is sparsely populated.
Among the shortest of humankind, the Jaata also tend to be slender, though they still can be quite strong, which often surprises those not familiar with their people. They have skin color that ranges from the golden-brown of sandalwood to deep browns of rosewood or walnut, with eyes that are almost always black, and black hair that is usually fine and straight. Women usually grow their hair long and braid or wrap it, while men seldom grow hair past their shoulders but cultivate their beards carefully. Usually fine-featured and graceful, the Jaata are considered by many outsiders to be the handsomest people in the world.

Jaata often wear clothes of colorful silk, along with jewelry of gold and silver. Such jewelry is a symbol of status but also a way to carry one’s wealth, so most people wear some all the time and even more on special occasions.

The Jaata trade widely and form enclaves in many large cities. One of the largest is in Shabbis, and a large population even lives as far as Castorhage in Akados. They speak Meeruwhan. The Jaata are believed to be distantly related to the Gtsang of western Akados, who are said to have migrated from Jaati thousands of years ago.

Since both Bastus and the kingdom of Khemit have a very 'Egyptian' flavor, I think I'll have Ratel born in Shabbis, and have him join the church at sixteen, now twenty five, he's been able to travel west and finds himself on a pilgrimage to the Holy Cities.
Not that it matters much, but what city/town are we starting in and is Mitra’s Fist one of the holy cities, or just where we'll end up?

If it's a plot twist, don't worry about it.
