Paremo
Paremo is a secluded and primitive tribe of cannibalistic sea elves residing on the towering cliffs of Tahi'Ona's western coast. Governed by a theocratic hierarchy led by a high priest or priestess, the tribe conducts ritual sacrifices to appease their sea deity. The village is characterized by its simple huts made from driftwood and stones, precariously perched along the cliffs, with narrow paths connecting the various communal spaces and sacred sites. Self-sufficient and fiercely defensive, Paremo relies on fishing, hunting, and crafting for sustenance, while the natural fortifications of the cliffs and the combat skills of the sea elves deter any potential intruders. The tribe's isolation and dangerous reputation make it a place shrouded in mystery and avoided by outsiders.
