Kadwana (culture)
The Kadwana are an isolated people that live along the Katuppilan groves in southern Kashirya. They are primarily a fishing society; their communities consist of floating villages on the water and small ports along the groves edge that reach out into the sea. Due to the unwieldy nature of the Katuppilan and the dangers of its waterways, the larger polities of the region have often either left the Kadwana alone, or brokered deals with the local nobility.
Their long history living on the water has made the Kadwana excellent fishers and weavers. Most goods leaving their ports for wider Kashirya are sea foods and intricately weaved goods. The matriarchs of families are known to record their family's history through the use of skeins- long lengths of yarn knotted and weaved into patterns that detail the lives of their ancestors. Some skeins have been kept since before the Chan Skorpokaipis though many were lost or destroyed in the ensuing disasters.
