Meznams

Historically, the Meznam people were a relatively small group that lived near the Zhano-Mewhi Bay and moved north to the Mewzhano Bay. Their leaders were strong, particularly a chieftain known as Miznoh, and soon many conquered lands and tribal leaders swore allegiance to him. King Miznoh's Meznamishii Empire lasted for fifteen generations of relative peace until Fortnight's Battle and economic problems caused its collapse.
Now, nearly a century later, the peaceful ways of the Meznamish people are long gone, for being part of the greatest Svimohzish Empire known changed them. Some individual Meznams still bear open hostility to the folk of the seceded kingdoms, particularly their Ozhvin and Zazahnii neighbors.
Still, most folk seem content with their lot and friendly towards their neighbors, though they dream of better days and might quickly rise to a national call to war. Most Meznams are hard bargainers, something they have in common with their Ahznom cousins, but they place trade beneath family.
All of today's Meznams are tall, with sharp angular features, long beards and athletic builds. Their skin is ebony, and almost all Meznams have brown or black eyes, with gray and hazel being rare. Like many on the island, Meznams wear their hair short to keep cool in the sub-tropical clime.
