Yadaniya (culture)
The Yadaniya people are dominated by their proximity to Paerasjatan's Spire. The closeness of the massive Tower to their towns has made them both a haven for scholars and adventurers, all of which wish to unlock the secrets of the spire. Many Yadaniya are also powerful Magi, lending their skills out as guides and aides to researching parties. The culture of the Yadaniya is inseparable from the effects of the Spire, and some travellers have noted that the most powerful Yadaniya also seem to be the most sickly.
Whilst once they held great libraries containing centuries of research on the spire, the Dharya Varha destroyed many of their most vital records. The Yadaniya have remained determined, however, to reacquire their lost knowledge, and so have seemingly dedicated their entire culture to the research of the Spire once again. Whilst some of the most potent Magi in Kashirya, the Yadaniya's insatiable need to understand the Spire has left them a people enslaved to research.
