Cerussiai (culture)
The Cerussiai have lived in the central plain of Malcois for countless generations. Seen as a 'civilised tribe' by their Aversarian overlords, they were used as an engineered middle class in the colonial settlements which sprung up all over the Iyrossi Basin. Despite this, the Cerussiai were never quite absorbed into imperial stock, partly due to Aversarian efforts to keep the two groups distinct and partly due to them wishing to keep their own traditions alive. The Cerussiai were afforded liberties which their Iyrossi brethren did not, and enjoyed the benefits of it. However, now the tables have turned. Time will tell what becomes of the 'civilised tribe'.
