Jehoodeem

The Jehoodeem are a possibly extinct ethnic or cultural background in the Hamalfite sphere of existence. Though they do not outwardly exist today in any nation, the Jehoodeem are a legend in Hamalfite tales. Universally accepted as being excellent stewards and bondsmen, they however straddle a line of divided opinion among the Hamalfite as such. In stories featuring the Jehoodeem they may feature as the antagonists, being foreign merchants who act in dishonest fashion, swindling innocent widows on pieces of breed or even engaging in other unsavory activities. Their existence and mission in life is to acquire money for the least amount of work on their own end.
As such, it's considered insulting to be considered Jehoodid, or "to be like a Jehoodeem". Greedy bankers are also considered synonymous with the Jehoodeem antagonist image and other scam artists.
On the other-side, Jehoodeem have often been featured in positive lights. Historically, early emirs have had in their courts Jehoodeem advisors. They were often actively sought for their considerable learning and skill in areas of expertise ranging from rhetoric to book keeping or oral and written history. The opinion of Jehoodeem advisors was well sought after and considerably valued. Giroz is often said to have in his personal court a considerable board of advisers containing Jedoodeem; although as legends say they were banished by his generals after his death.
Their race were also known for their large noses.
== Religion ==
Jehoodeem religion is in question due to there being no known practitioners. Some belief they were followers of the cults of C'lestia and L'wna. While there is indication from historical accounts that they most often spoke of a single monotheistic god they refused to name, simply referring to him by titles.
== Modern ==
Jehoodeem no longer exist in the modern Hamalfite framework. There is considerable discussion and debate on where they went. Some suggesting they migrated across the great seas to a new land to call their own. Or some king murdered the entire population in a raging dispute. What is known was that the population was largely nomadic, and left little physical trace of their existence. The only clues to their existence are their impact in political histories and the minute records of their names.
