Hotar

A tribal confederation in the far north of Magnia, inhabited by the Hotari people. The Hotari, who call themselves the Yakka, are a nomadic people, following the yearly cycle of the local Yaks and known to practice shamanry. Their language has yet to be interpreted by scholars and the few Hotari who learn Chorenese or Wendish refuse to teach foreigners.

The Hotari are reportedly quite mistrustful of strangers and are overall a queer folk, hairless with skin colour that often appears slightly green-tinged. They believe in nature and fate and use large skin drums with symbols and hexagrams drawn in blood to tell fortunes and commune with spirits and they make sacrifices to keep away frightening, fish-headed gods. When the tide is low, statues of these creatures can be found along the shores. The Hotari fear the sea so much they refuse to set foot in the water.
