Yevamarai (culture)

The Yevamarai are a hybrid culture of the natives of the northern Aironoi islands and escaped Amaghean slaves. Constant slave raids from Aversaria and Amaghea have left them fiercely distrustful of any foreign influence. Many islands have the remains of former prisons, which the Yevamarai have repurposed to garrisons and lookout posts. The Yevamarai choose not to fight directly, instead opting to mobilize off their lands as quickly as possible, leaving nothing but deadly traps.

Yevamarai society has historically been very equal, men and women pulling their weight and struggling to stay alive. The leader of Yevamarai society is typically the Pritksilkae, who live atop tall wooden towers that overlook the entire island, reporting on the tides and possible enemy ships on the horizon.
