Inatri-Trowulan

The Inatri-Trowulan are a seafaring civilization southwest of the former Dulama Empire. They are isolated, and their only contact with other civilizations is through shipwrecks on their shores. They are a clan-based society, and members of a clan elect the new Suebu (leader of a clan, literally Chief Fisherman) after he or she dies. The five greatest clans are the Oke, Panarna, Eshai, Tulo, and Pawinpingyan, and the merchant clans of Handé-State, Wikousey, and Tomar control trade. Their religion worships thousands of nature spirits, believing that the ten million Dhivehi (gods) mostly ignore creation, while the Shivao (nature spirits) interfere with their daily lives. In their creation myth, Toromo, a freshwater spirit, abandons his immortality to create mankind. He has 1000 children, who soon fall to petty squabbles and are scattered across the world.
