Taminiai (culture)
Found amongst the hills beside the southern Kharadans, the Taminiai are a people known for their unflinching dedication to the protection of the ancient citadel of their people, Asmour. Once counted amongst the Siklasa, they were assimilated by a foreign ruling elite of Athacaya stock, losing much of their reluctance to greater Kashiryan interaction. As a result, their roaming traditions have been turned toward warfare, to great effect.
Historically masters of the ambush, the Taminai have integrated many long pilgrimages to ancient spots of military victories where their independence was secured in the long years of the Chan Skorpokaipis. Upon these spots, mountain temple-forts have been erected which watch over the landscape, awaiting the final coming of the greatest apocalypses to dwarf the Murtuy ka Varha. The Frodbrokna was one such sign of the coming of a new age of troubles to them, and their temples have quickly turned the Taminiai into warriors once more.
