Dergi (culture)
Hailing from the western isles of the Brass Sea, the Dergi are a highly insular series of tribes that strive to maintain their islands' beauty. Each change they make to their islands must be approved by their leaders, else they might destroy the perfection of their paradise. Of greatest note amongst their culture are the grandiose gardens maintained in their centres of power, symbolising the beauty of both their role in nature and nature's ultimate control of itself.
Though they have maintained their desire for isolation, the Dergi have made an exception for the Aversarinas Aautokrata, unwilling to let their forests burn in a war with the massive empire. Aversaria and Dergi have historically endured few issues in their alliance, with Imperial trade posts beautified to suit the whims of the natives.
