Anaros Island

The Anari who inhabit this forested, stormy island are renowned throughout the Hegemony as tough, skilled warriors with a deeply stoic martial philosophy. Anaros Island itself serves as the leading member of a confederacy of small communities and states scattered throughout the The Thousand Rocks. The Eldest, the region’s spiritual leader, dwells in the distant temple Aliyashinsah located at the peak of Mount Yu’unar.
Anaros Island seems the ideal place to breed a nation of warriors. Cold, with rocky shores and thick pine forests, the island is unprotected from the storms that roar in from the west, but also provides shelter to the smaller islands of the The Thousand Rocks. Its minimal resources and arable land force its people to live in a stratified, yet also surprisingly egalitarian, society where all are cared for and hardships are shared. It cannot be said that no one goes hungry on Anaros Island, but if some go hungry, all go hungry, including even the most influential nobles. A popular proverb asserts that “The branch may break, but the tree stands strong.”
