Xrahantiia (culture)
Nestled amongst the pastoral vales of the Rohaj valley live the Xrahantiia, related to the other Aevakori peoples spread across Hyratan. A fiercely competitive culture, each clan makes their homes in one of the several picturesque terracotta towns dotted across the valley. Each town contains a Vantaav at its center, or "scholar tower", containing the accumulated histories of that town and clan. Reinforced with magic and sound engineering each Vantaav strives to outdo the others in height, resulting in a striking landscape of glistening towers jutting from the dense pine forests of the Rohaj valley.
Despite their competitive nature amongst themselves, the Xrahantiia are known throughout Darmirat for their gregarious and genial attitude towards outsiders. This is due to their rich hospitality culture, throwing lavish feasts and festivals when trading caravans pass through the valley. This welcoming nature has attracted many famous Kashiryan figures over the years, and it is said that the great Baytor and his retinue once summered with the Xrahantiia; on the eve of the infamous Bayyuralar so long ago.
