Old Yamaian
Old Yamaians is the name reffering to the ethnic group inhabiting the Yama region prior to the colonization by the Kitsune Folk that has lead to the emergence of the Yamajin . Although, they eventually disappeared as a separate people, by mixing and assimilating with the colonists, their appearence and some customs still have some influence over the Yamajin population, especially the lower classes.
Genetically and culturally they were part of the wider family of peoples known as @Bethu. On top of that, their lifestyle was fairly decentralised and isolationist, focusing on small, pastoral populations with strong familian/tribal bonds.

Engaging with primarily pastoral lifestyle, and occasional agriculture. Their tools were rather sophisticated and made mostly out of stone and copper, sometimes bronze. The writing was extremly limited as served as purely ritualistic code for religious purposes, known solely by the few priests.
