There are six cultural variants of humans.  These variants are not divided by even lines and individuals may vary greatly within each group.  The groups are generally indicated as sharing a political ideology, a religion, and in many cases similar physical traits. The latter similarity due more to a lack of mobility than a lack of pondering their culture.

Human Variants

There are seven cultural variants of humans. These variants are not divided by even lines and individuals may vary greatly within each group. Besides sharing a common culture and geographical base, these groups may also share common political ideologies, a religions, and in many cases physical traits.

Araldiktar

A typical Araldiktar

These islander people hail from the island nation of Araldar on the western edge of Otan. They are often easily identified by their western dialect of the Otani, their wind-beaten bronze complexions and dark features. The Araldiktar are naturally enamored with all things maritime and in particular the fruits of the sea.

The Araldiktar are often considered to be bilingual as they can nearly universally speak the Otani language but also the Araldar pidgin, which is a hybrid mixture of the Otani, Sweardælf and Ælfish languages. Araldar pidgin is spoken almost exclusively on the smaller Araldar languages.

Mujitism is the most common religion shared by the Araldiktar people. This sea-oriented religion is comprised of legends of a nautical nature with the heroes engaging with, or even becoming sea creatures. The morals of this religion affect Araldar culture giving lessons that involve respect for the sea and the creatures within.

The sea is the central source of food for the Araldiktar and naturally the people are therefore inclined to have deep understandings of what is to be at sea. From an early age, the Araldiktar will acquire nautical skills such as fishing, sailing and swimming among others. Araldiktar trades can include farming and other more traditional inland occupations, but more than half the population live adjacent to or on the sea at any given time. The highest paying occupations will typically involve a life at sea.
