Aygaen (culture)
The most westerly culture native to the Armazli Mountains, the Aygaen people are forever in conflict with one another. Traditionally, Aygaen communities are led by insular groups of priests that live in great palace-temples, guiding their people through spiritual and temporal matter alike. However, many of the earliest champions of these priests also founded great bloodlines, and their descendants formed a secular rival to their power.
The Aygaens have historically been the most vocal opponents of the Amagheans in their home region but have also attempted the least revolts, owing to a lack of any great strategic minds. With the temples closed and their nobility scattered, the Aygaens have become a more communal people, sharing the struggle as a community rather than relying upon their predatory aristocracies for help.
