Southern Aversarian (culture)

Southern Aversarians are those Aversarian native to the former cosmopolitan center of Opakhasia. While once very wealthy due to the riches of their homeland and its control over trade, the rise of Aironoi and the Chaos of the Seventh Century devastated the province; causing depopulation, famine and war, as well as the loss of southern trade. Despite this, the nobility are still known for excessive displays of wealth, Starving slaves and livestock tending near-barren fields not uncommon while traveling to one of the many feasts in gold gilded halls of the nobility.

As the government of Opakhasia is descended from the ancient 'Mountain-Sun Temple', so are the trappings of Southern Aversarian culture. Southerners hold religious titles that would have been common a thousand years prior, and are known for displays of piety despite their decadence. The colors of Opakhasia are whites, golds and oranges, based off the colors of the ancient Mountain-Sun.
