Aumegaron

Aumegaron is a large island in the Azarian Archipelago and a province of the Sarcian Empire, which has ruled it for centuries.
Like most other Azarian islands, Aumegaron’s original inhabitants were either breakaways from or descendants of the People of the Ten Thousand Ships. They thus share common origins with the Achuireans. They are mostly followers of Rhantashannu to this day, although diverse other cults also flourish on the island.
For millennia, Aumegaron has been renowned as a center of culture and learning; its oldest city-states boast ancient traditions of scholarship and philosophy which, they claim, stretch back to the island’s settlement by humans shortly after the Schism Wars. Some of these city-states claim to have been founded by scholar-princes who were disciples or companions of Tarquenus during the Schism Wars and on the Rhantashannis' exile, before coming to Aumegaron as leaders of its first colonists. 
In the days when Qoss ruled the Sarpic Seas, Aumegaron served as a haven for sages and truth-seekers who found Qossite domination intolerable, and who were welcomed by the Rhantashani Aumegarones despite being mostly Vanir-Vaati. Their choice of destination and the tolerance they met are not surprising, since such students from distant lands have always flocked to the island to study under its great masters, and have generally been accepted despite heterodox beliefs.
Because of this age-old reputation and the very high standards of learning still upheld in Aumegaron’s centers of learning, slaves from the island are valued as tutors and physicians throughout the Sarcian Empire, and in Rhydain and Phyridian lands as well. Such slaves are not captured by force and sold in chains like Thelbirs of the wild north, but raised from childhood in a scholarly setting, with the knowledge that when they reach adulthood they will be sent overseas to the house of a new master. 
Despite the generally negative attitude held towards Rhantashannu in Orithea and Rhydain, most such slaves persist in their faith (and are permitted to do so) after being sold into the households of Vanir-Vaati masters. Such is the value placed on Aumegarone wisdom that rich lords will allow even their own children to be tutored by an infidel, as long as the instruction doesn't include attempts to turn them against the Utara-Vaati cultus. There is also the consideration that once a slave converts to Utara-Vaati, social pressure to manumit them will be applied; this in turn incentivizes masters to treat their valuable Aumegarone slaves kindly and allow them to maintain their traditional practices, since a mistreated slave might be tempted to convert in order to end their bondage.
