Aeviaxian (culture)
One of the many cultures that sprang up from the untold number of city-states in western Etepezea and wealthiest of the groups that sprang up around the pre-Aautokrata city states, Aeviaxians embody the mercantile nature of these city states to the utmost extent. Aeviaxian culture is one that values wealth and trade, with merchants being considered one of the foremost groups in society, second only to the nobility. They are moreover known for prizing communal bonds, aiding one another when in need. They are inclined towards establishing enclaves in settlements that lie on upon their trade routes, developing thriving communities in far off lands. While not unwilling to wage war when necessary, they are averse to it, as wars harm the operation of the trade routes vital to the Aeviaxian merchant class. Instead, the Aeviaxians are known for utilizing diplomacy and bribery to prevent what they see as wasteful conflicts.
Eventually, the Aeviaxians were integrated into Aversarian culture as a result of the Aautokrata's campaign to merge the cultures within it, forming a singular imperial culture.
