Adnanari (culture)
The Adnanari are the people of the east Sarradonian kingdoms of Kekhenemhat. Though widely thought to descend from Mar'maladid tribes who completely abandoned their nomadic lifestyles and settled down in the Khenem river valley and the nearby coasts over a thousand years ago, their modern connection with the other Mar'maladid cultures can only be noticed by the astute scholar. Their languages have diverged to the point of complete mutual unintelligibility, and their customs even more so.
Controlling the critical juncture at which the Gonan road meets the north Sarradonian coast, they have developed a strong commercial spirit, and have managed to offset the relative infertility of the Khenem river valley with income and imports from their mercantile endeavors. On the other hand, they have not quite lost the warrior spirit of their nomadic brethren, as constant warfare with raiders from the desert interior meant that martial prowess was still a skill in great need. This would serve them quite well when the Agionists arrived in the 12th century, and although they would ultimately be brutally subjugated, they were consistently the most rebellious group of people nominally under the Aversarian' boot - and the first to successfully break free of their yoke in the Faghira-Jalil Revolt.
