Amaghean (culture)
Ancient tales speak of the Amagheans being descendants of the martyred God-King Arnaz 'the Great Ancestor' and his child Parnaz 'the Great'. Infamous for their religious zeal and warrior culture, they are often said to be unafraid of death itself when in combat - in fact, falling in battle is considered the most noble way one can die in their culture. The Amagheans have a long history of practicing slavery, for they believe all peoples to their east deserve to be punished for aiding Azot 'the Kinslayer'. Some of these cultures have, over many centuries, even been entirely eradicated because of their disloyalty, yet some have stayed in the good graces of their masters, such as the Draneti. With the arrival of Aversarian influence to their homelands, the Amagheans were awed by their foe's prowess and valor, and many were even open to the idea of adopting the Aversarian rites. However, it was only during the reign of Dedaphal Mariamne 'the Builder' that the Amaghean Aagiokrata was officially adopted and became a mainstay of Amaghean life.
