Zakerans

The Zakerans¹ inhabit the area around Zaþil Lake, the upper Þán River and the city of Danþyl in southern Malónat. Some Zakeran warriors, like the Faþilítans in Kaiqonon to the east, are given the honour of patrolling the ancient Reþokúl Wall that marks the sacred southern boundries of Útel civilization.

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

Zakerans speak with a slight nasal accent, though not as pronounced as the Þandans in Kanot to the west.

Culture and cultural heritage

Cuisine

Giant salamander eggs in vinegar are a common dish among the Zakerans, especially around Zaþil. The area around the lake is currently the only place where Vipló Trees are grown, ever since the ancient city-state of Nanaþ'alinei was abandoned and the area cut off by the Reþokúl Wall. The fruit they produce is mostly used to flavor a kind of wine called vipló'þil, which is highly sought after by other Útels, both for drinking and especially libations in honour of Ela'k.
