Amrans

Amran: Amrolo
Dardian: Amrol

The amrans¹ are a nomadic people living in southwesternmost Gysikan, bordering Rómúkan territory to the east, the Zóken Mountains to the south, Goldensands to the west and Lerdis to the north. They are related to the Dardians and Rómúkans and, more distantly, the Faronians.

History

Amran territory originally covered a much larger area than today, bordered by a number of other tribes which have either perished or been absorbed into the kingdom of Lerdis, the latter which invaded western Gysikan after the fall of the Paþarían Empire. Before the invasion, the Amrans had an uneasy peace with the Katargysians who had settled there centuries before, as the Katargysíans mostly kept to themselves in their underground cities.

Culture

Apparel

Amran clothing is very similar to that of the dardians, consisting of unbelted, sleeveless tunics made of goatskin. Same goes for hairstyles -usually braids or dreadlocks- and tattoos.

Religion

Deities

Fleras

God of wolves and warfare. Those who wear wolf furs and talismans of wolf teeth are believed to gain the god's favor in battle, a belief shared by the Rómúkans. Amran warriors also eat wolf meat as part of their initiation ritual.
