An Tarqi Aa

An Tarqi Aa is one of the five nation states within the Sarafid Dowd'i Kingdom. 
It is the eldest of the nations, tracing its ancient history to back before the Burning of Whereev Mellon, which destroyed much of the Sarafid Dowd'i civilization, but a handful of Sarafid Dowd'i survived in the isolated areas of An Tarqi Aa, and from them most modern Sarafid Dowd'i are descended. 
The Shah was the leader of the nation, and after the Burning of Whereev Mellon the role grew to become the first Sarafid Shah.
The nation is situated on an outcrop of the southern polar region and is surrounded by the Great Southern Ocean.

The An Tarqi Aa people have traditions dating back beyond the birth of the Sarafid Dowd'i Kingdom. This includes names with only one part rather than the usual two. 
Their tattoo's are usually asymmetrical.
