Akhtarfi (culture)
An oasis people of mixed Marmaladid and coastal-Sarradonian descent, the Akhtarfi are descended from survivors that fled as the Marmaladid Invasion broke against the Mamuramat of the Center, scattering in the wake of the disastrous slaughter at the battle of the Shrieking Earth in 1047. Many clans settled where they could, fearful of Tathtalite retribution, their numbers were later bolstered by waves of Sihnimiyyan peasants fleeing the growing disorder in Coastal Sarradon.
The Akhtarfi are not recognized as part of any of the traditional Marmaladid Great Tribes, though many individual lineages among them claim some distant ancestry to multiple different founding demigods.
