Lanai

The Lanai people predominate along the western coasts of the Qi Empire. They share many things in common with the Naxans of the Eastern coasts, including a preponderance for seafaring and deep social traditions of combat and trading. Unlike the Naxans, the Lanai largely consider themselves Qi, and have integrated deeply into the Empire to the extent that few would identify themselves as uniquely Lanai.
Historically, the heart of their nascent kingdom was Catous; it is now just one of many Lanai trading cities along the coast.
