Vastarnai (culture)
The Vastarnai are competent merchants and traders hailing from the tip of the Kashti Flats, and they have long profited from their close proximity to the bustling metropolises of eastern Aironoi. Many Vastarnai specialize in artisan trades, such as fine clothing, and many of their fabrics have been long sought by Aironoian courts.
Due to their mercantile ways, the Vastarnai have been heavily exposed to the various languages present beyond the Flats, giving rise to a culture where polyglots are revered. As well, the lingering influences of Otachedian Law, and an emerging brand of economic diplomacy, have given the Vastarnai a strong legacy of administration and bureaucracy unrivaled in western Kashirya.
