Falmarian



Similar to the real world Arabic, this descriptor is applied the natives of the southeastern corner of the Thargorum continent. Though they share many attributes with real world Middle Eastern nations, they have some distinct cultural aspects exclusive to this world.

This is a blanket term, though. Much like the term Arabic, it applies to several nations with their own distinct culture. Falmarian is also a language. There are varied dialects with each nation but it is considered a common language among the nations of the old Falmar empire.

These include the following:


 * Mormar - a nation that made up the entire western side of the old Falmar Empire, it was the part of the nation that interacted with the outside world the most. It's culture is a blend of the common Falmarian culture with a bit of the western nations mixed in. As far as clothing, architecture, and food, it is reminiscent of the real world United Arab Emirates.
 * Falmar - the remnants of the old empire, they are a proud and traditional people. They have a reputation for their cutthroat business practices, their devotion to their empire, and how they look down on others as lesser (which is fueled by their slave trade). In regards to clothing, architecture, and food, they are similar to real world Saudi Arabia.
 * Leithar - made up of refugees, rebels, and former slaves, the culture of has been in flux over the last few centuries. Mostly Falmarian people, but with a large minority of others from around the world, the nation tries hard to be different than the other nations of the former Falmar Empire while still respecting the culture they come from. In regards to food, clothing, and architecture, they are similar to real world Turkey.
 * Ulnar - a nation made mostly of desert, but with large quantities of valuable minerals in the hills and mountains, they have created several large cities and settlements in the desert. They are characterized by their endurance, as it is what it takes for the minerals to keep flowing and for the settlements to keep standing in the harsh conditions. As far as clothing, architecture, and food, they are similar to real world Egypt.
