Buhru Civilization
The Buhru inhabited the Serpent Isles for thousands of years before mainlanders founded Bilgewater. The Buhru still dominate the isles, and foreigners to their shores are only allowed to settle in Bilgewater. The Buhru have their language, capital city, and religion centered around the worship of the great Kraken Nagakabouros. The culture of the Buhru influences much of Bilgewater, and a healthy population of Buhru live in the city. While Buhru tolerate the settlement, there is a clear divide between those of them that accept their presence and those that consider it to be a stain on their island.
On the other hand, The indigenous culture of the Blue Flame Isles is highly respected by the inhabitants of Bilgewater and aspects of it have been incorporated into daily life. The native peoples' knowledge of the ocean and its denizens is second to none; no ship is able to navigate the perilous straits around Bilgewater without their guidance. Those of indigenous descent often hold key roles in Bilgewater's fleets and gangs and are regarded with almost mystical reverence, as are the rare few embraced by their community.
