Ilfolk

A people at the very southern end of the world, the Ilfolk dwell on a large, volcanic island in the midst of the Nakalani. A collection of somewhat disunited tribes, they bear a number of distinguishing characteristics: the carving of small basalt or obsidian figurines (trinkets that occasionally end up in northern trading ports), the heavy use of psychoactive drugs, and near-universal adherence to a religious doctrine that centers on the sacrifice of children. The religious hierarchy, centered on the Temple of Snakes in the north of the island, holds much of the political power in the tribe in addition to their obvious spiritual power.
Recent years have seen increasing contact with the rest of the world, including raids from the Baribai and the occasional merchant from the Opulensi Empire.
