Jakoni

Jakoni has also been called by the name of "Jaconis," which is both its Morish and Alamin name; it is unclear which language, if either, produced the name first. Since the Millennial Calm, however, Jakoni has sought to reclaim its original culture that was lost in years of trade and influence from outsiders, and it has turned its back on the name of Jaconis as a result.
The Jakonian people are known for being deft inventors, taking established ideas or technologies and repurposing them for their own use -- often improving on the base idea in the process. Historically, they have been welcoming of outsiders, albeit quick to anger if the same courtesy is not extended to them. Equivalent trade is the governing law of Jakoni; monetary value isn't necessarily the guiding principle, but the value of the need. In Jakoni, it is perfectly valid to work for wages that are paid in goods, food, or shelter depending on the agreement between employee and employer.
Because Jakoni exports so many things to doeron-majority communities, their culture of soul gems, thought to perhaps originate with the bounty of metals and gemstones found in the nation's central mountain, has spread to other, non-Jakonian doerons as well. This spread is most widely noted in nations nearby Jakoni, such as Dralvarus, Naji, Sabaria, and Streeg.
