Zash Native People

The Zash (Plural: Zashi ) were natives to the region north of The Eye in the Old Kingdom of Talawa from around 900-0 BJA. Not much remains of this civilization because it was destroyed. There is also evidence of a civil war amongst it's people, causing items belonging to enemy sides being destroyed. The arrival of Jagdasians also contributed to the destruction of their civilization. Their culture somewhat remains in modern times, as Quagero City was built around their culture.
== Mythology ==
From what archeologists could gather, the Zash believed in multiple dimensions existing, examples of these are The Nether and The End. They also believe that these dimensions happened to be destroyed because of the stupidity/anger of the inhabitants. Ancient texts have been found that tell stories of a great dragon invading a sky world (The End), and another mentioning an underground realm eternally burning from the essence of hatred of it's inhabitants (The Nether). These is also a major part of Realminism.
