Jangkar (culture)
The Jangkar are descended from the original Saradari diaspora in the Alaruhm Bay, having arrived in the area as their bretheren were scattered. Merchants and mercenaries, they would form cordoned-off communities throughout the cities of the region, tolerated for their valuable services, but just as often finding themselves the scapegoats of whatever recent calamity befell the local populace. Though characterised by cliques and sub-cultures as countless as the cities of the region, they would slowly form a loose, common identity over the centuries and largely resist attempts at assimilation.
With the founding of the independent Ayyar state by the Auzangeb, they have gradually migrated away from the foreign cities that were so loath to accept their presence in the first place to the far more welcoming arms of their compatriots in the east. Now largely settled along the eastern regions of the Liraaj, they mostly continue to live in communities determined by whatever foreign metropole they have originally arrived from. As such, it is difficult to pin down any universally shared cultural norms among them - perhaps a defining characteristic in and of itself.
