Iafarana (culture)
The Iafarana people have long called the pristeen coastal waters of the Night Coast their home, though little surviving records of their early history remains. What survives in their ports and fleets, tells of their seafaring ancestors reaching the coasts from eastern Kashirya and the Pirate Coast, but scholars have had trouble deciding when this migration occurred due to records lost during the Chan Skorpokaipis. The earliest mentions of a Iafarana people date to the 8th century, but it's unclear whether that refers to their ancestors, or the people who now live there.
Despite this, the Iafarana have maintained their oceanic roots. Their massive, immaculately crafted boats are said to be some of the best in the Pirate Coast, and many strange customs and practices forgotten throughout the region have managed to survive aboard their ships. Iafarana navigators can be found aboard the fastest vessels in the Coast, and are easily spotted from a crew due to their customary tattoos marking the navigator's guiding stars across their face and neck.
