Zabari (culture)
The Zabari of the eastern peninsulas of Kashirya are a nation of free-spirited craftsmen and wily merchants in the eyes of most foreign observers, but most ignore their true skill — the ability to drain the fetid wetlands of their homelands. Whilst once under the spiritual dogmatism of the Neshalar, the slow divergence of the north coast from their Surins in the 6th century allowed the tradition of pristine wetlands to be broken. Now, after centuries of learning their craft, the Zabari are unafraid of expanding their new cities at all costs.
Zabari cities are also famous for their diverse array of weaponry, with every style of sword or club imaginable, as well as various projectile weapons, sold in their vast markets. The walls are short and thick, and the air, whilst foul-smelling, is said to be filled with magical energy by the locals. Even the most persistent creatures of the Kashiryan wetlands are said to fear the Zabari's relentless expansionism.
