Ja'Rakmar (culture)

Found in the south-eastern hills of Aironoi, the Ja'Rakmar are a proud people of many stories. Together, they have endured many highs and lows, under countless kings and warlords who each believed that they were the greatest of all time. Despite their pride, however, Ja'Rakmari tales of ancient empires spanning all of Aironoi have never been more than stories, and only the line of Ertomax has ever reached true glory.

Owing to their rugged homeland, the Ja'Rakmari are famed warriors, and only the most skilled commanders or potent Magi have been known to best them in their home territory. Boastful and yet strangely intrigued by other cultures, they are said to finish each battle they win with a great dance known as Sevra Par, where axes are thrown between willing soldiers as they switch between their partners. Their harsh home has also always made hospitality a key part of their culture, with the feast the most honoured act within Ja'Rakmari culture. Though rarely hegemons, the Ja'Rakmari will always feast like kings.
