Redrunner (culture)
In the southeastern corner of Aironoi, the land fades from its normal hues into a deep red. Canyons snake through the region, and Magi report negative effects emanating from it. Despite this, the children of Aversaria have still settled this land, or at least pieces of it. Along the coastline, a series of walled enclaves host a people known as the Redrunners, who earned their name due to their important role in trade, connecting the mysterious lands to the west to Aversaria.
The Redrunners are perhaps one of the most alien Aversarian cultures, and are often perceived as such by their counterparts across the empire. Their inability to colonize the inland has left them a series of isolated fortresses, and interestingly created one of the most socially mobile poulations in the empire. As their economy is almost entirely based around trade, those with the ability to claw their way to the top are able to regularly break with social convention. The Redlanders also carry a series of superstitions, fearing the canyons from which it is said that none can return.
