Walakon (culture)
Descended from the great Shamrani raiders, Welki used to be the scourage of the Sea of Empires and proved formidable rivals to early Aversaria. Their dominance was put to an end by Dybolitós sto Thallas, and the following centuries saw most of their people killed by the Aversarians. The ones that survived inhabit a small archipelago of inhospitable islands to the west of Kalathipsomi. Proud as they are of their history of defiance, the slaughter Aversarians brought upon them is a trauma that follows them to this day. There is not a single Walakon settlement out in the open. Their villages are well-hidden in woods and hills, and their houses austere, holding only as much as they can carry. Nearly all Walakon art was destroyed or stolen during the Dybolitós, so now the only thing they have to their name are their songs. Long and winding, they are sung in half whispers to the tune of wind howling, and even when they tell of the deeds of great heroes, one can feel the enormity of their loss in the words that go unspoken.
