Makryenis (culture)
Makryenis refers to a melting pot of various Aversarian cultures that would arrive in Sarradon with the great wave of colonization that would follow the start of the Saints War in the 1140s, united only by a near-fanatical devotion to the Agionist creed. In their early years, they were known for their great social mobility and respect of meritocracy, and countless wretched souls on the Continent would brave the journey south for a chance at a better life in Sarradon. Despite their modern reputation, they were also once considered a breath of fresh air on the continent, and as genuine facilitators of peace and a neutral third party to local squabbles and feuds.
Nowadays, though still going through great effort to paint themselves as honorable and righteous, their decline into general cruelty and capriciousness has made them infamous across Sarradon, and the Makryenis are usually looked down upon as a group of brutal thugs at best, or as loathsome tyrants to be driven back into the sea at worst.
