Aversarian Islander (culture)

Aversarian Islanders were once called by the scholar Magister Archaea of Cnidera in her famous satirical works to be "As humble as the Opakhasians, as decadent as the Malcoisiacs, as civilized as the Katraddians, and as Aversarian as the Kathun". A mix of political feuds and—especially as time has marched on and the core of Aversaria moved from the Imperial Isle to Etepezea—neglect has led to the Isles of Aversaria being one of the most neglected and poverty-stricken regions of Aeras. Aversarian Islanders are often so neglected as to often find themselves in slavery thanks to slave raids, kidnapping and debt despite their citizenship, a crime punishable by death in Aversaria only for those who are caught doing it.

Despite this, Islanders are near-universally some of the proudest of the world. Each Isle is known to meticulously track its local history and those deemed to be local heroes, events as small as the building of a new barn often leading to widespread festivities and marking in historical record. For when all the world has forgotten you and you must struggle to simply survive, the Isles show that you may often survive only thanks to the solidarity of your fellow man.
