Leriseb (culture)

The Leriseb are perhaps the youngest of the Ayyar cultures, born of the gradual expansion of the Ayyar state into its traditional tributaries. As Ayyar from across Sarradon heeded the call of Sheyarla over the centuries, they moved into lands that had long been inhabited by the Canians, and began the gradual process of integration into a new society.

Eventually, when the longstanding Ayyar tributary of Vabhrund was officially annexed into the Liraaj, it became clear that a new culture had truly formed here, combining the long literary and linguistic tradition of the Ashital with the Ayyar virtues of prowess and glory. Interestingly, the main language spoken among the Leriseb is Canian, and even the population contains a large number of Ashital who embraced this new fusion of lifestyles, rather than the more clear-cut Ayyar majorities found further east.

The Leriseb stand on the edge of many worlds, upon the borders between faiths and civilizations. But they stand together.
