Amuaad (culture)

Amuuad is perhaps best described as a cosmopolitan melting pot of virtually every major culture on the north coast of Sarradon. Standing where the worlds of the Ritualist-Wardenite east meet exotic Kemsar, Amsari and Ayyar, seemingly every facet of their language and customs has been loaned from one of their neighboring people.

Their language shares most in common with the Tasurmad, but their script is completely unlike most other surrounding cultures - rather than using Jaduyada letters, they instead use the glyphs of ancient Kemsar, a legacy of the Ran Kemsari colonies founded in the region during their golden age. Their artwork is built upon an eastern bedrock, but with significant Ayyar elements, their architecture - distinctly Kemsari. Finally, Amuuad garb and cuisine are such a riotous mixture of everything under the Sun that trying to piece together the origin of each element would be a futile task indeed.
