Savirai

The Savirai originated somewhere in the depths of the Face of the Moon, the largest of the eastern deserts. Settling the area around Her Tear, a miraculously freshwater lake with extremely productive waters and shores alike, they managed to parley their position in the center of the desert into a caravan-stopping point, specializing in the long-distance trade between north and south, east and west -- the latter especially becoming important during the numerous trade wars that might rage on the Nakalani. The more powerful of their tribes launched a series of expansionist campaigns across the Face, until their southernmost raids reached the borders of the Nahari Empire, an encounter that would end with the conquest of the latter and the foundation of the Dual Empire.
A diverse group, the Savirai count among their numbers thousands of nomads, agriculturalists, and urbanites each. The vast majority adhere to Eastern Aitahism, a religion that combines elements of the also popular Maninist faith with Orthodox Aitahism.
