Yaar'nami (culture)
Native to the Krehejad archipelago, the Yaar'nami have a long-established seafaring tradition stretching back to their fabled discovery of the islands they call home. This mastery of the waves propelled them across the ocean and onto vulnerable shores, the image of purple-clad warrior women baked into disparate mythologies across Aeras. In fact, the process in which their characteristic pigment was created was a closely guarded secret, its rarity making it an essential luxury for any self-respecting ruler. The history of the Yaar'nami has been preserved in various plays known as Hara'mar, in which dance serves a crucial element of conservation with each movement having a deep meaning to those trained to read it.
