Kismaati

Summary

• Physical Description: Wide-ranging phenotype from pale to dark-skinned, with blonde to brown hair, due to generations of intermingling between nomads and native tribes. They favor beards and thick fabrics to protect against sandstorms. Descendants of House Razul often have jet black hair and blue eyes, with a prominent nose.
• Personality: Proud warriors and shrewd negotiators. Their society is arguably the most free and multicultural in Arden. They are confident, believing the ruling dynasty, House Razul, was sent by the heavens to guide the world to prosperity. The dynasty has countless descendants, leading to much subterfuge among distant heirs.
• Lands: The vast Kalamir desert, dotted by walled oases that serve as trading outposts. Their shores are home to many port metropolises. It is a resource-rich desert once ruled by nomadic clans sworn to House Razul.
• Relations: Engaged in a pitched trade war with the Miwu Empire. They run afoul of other human cultures for their wealth and potentially heretical faith. They have decent relations with the Maksimovian Federation (Drachmari) and a trade partnership with the Jotun. They are hostile to the Rangi due to efforts to annex the Mitari. They systematically purge Goblins with religious fervor.
• Alignment: Neutral Good.
• Religion: Follow Jabarism, an offshoot of Ferrosianism that preaches segregated peace and believes humanity is destined to lead other races to salvation. They revere the Razul dynasty as a divine line descended from Jabar the Blue, one of Iron Gertrauda's entourage.
• Language: Speak Raziiya and Vincan in equal measure, and often know Miwu dialects for trade negotiations.
