Nînutet

Nînutet is an independent conclave populated by the Nînu people that lies within the city of Dumeis in Coreune. Dumeis serves as the ancient home of the Nînu people, and a large population of the ethnic minority still exists to this day. Nînutet, established by treaty with King Leshore, consists of much of the northern half of the city and scattered properties throughout the region. The conclave belongs to the Nînu and is not subject to Coreunean law. Recent decades have brought more mixing of the two communities and there are now thousands of Nînu living in other neighborhoods, along with numerous Coreunean families who have moved into Nînu-built homes. These ties have worked to strengthen the community as well as create lasting bonds between the peoples. Nonetheless, there are periodic disagreements, particularly when Coreunean and Nînu laws do not agree. It is well known that lawbreakers such as thieves are brutally punished in the conclave, to a degree considered almost inhumane. This has caused anger and resentment among freer-minded Coreunean "merchants and traders" (i.e., thieves and con-men), and focused crime in the Coreunean neighborhoods.
The most prominent landmark in Nînutet is the Ydrasil Spiral, the center of traditional Nînu religion.
