Aschari

The Aschari are people living in Eastern Prei Meas and historically spread all across the Northern Hagalaz Ocean. The Aschari can be further subdivided into a multitude of distinct clans who share similar cultures and dialects of the same Aschari language all being mutually intelligible.

Culture

The Aschari historically lived in a heavily nautical based society where children would learn how to make outrigger canoes, navigate with the stars, and fish from an early age. Some Kammist writings even claim that the Aschari were "hatched from sea turtle eggs". Unlike the rest of the region the Aschari have had a mainly matriarchal society where women would lead the home and lead the communities while the men would go to war, and fish. In addition the center of Aschari society are the families which are seen above everything and the groom would typically take the bride's family name.

weaving

along side their naval prowess and expertise the Aschari are universally revered for their weaving and tapestries. Each clan and even family will have their own individual style of weaving tapestries and rugs each more intricate and eye catching than the last. These tapestries are seen as a symbol of their clan, a symbol of wealth, family heirlooms, to artwork and everything in between, and were among the many products sold by Aschari merchants.
