Janmier

Janmier is a country on the far eastern side of Tanalier. The entire country is covered in dense jungle. Those from The Drazia Dynasty have little interest in learning anything more about Janmier, and countries further west have little ability to find out more as any explorations must travel across the Dynasty which is either dangerous or expensive. This makes Janmier seem like a mysterious and mystical place that captures the imagination of many throughout the continent, so much so that there is even a museum of Janmeir in Glovar

### Laws

The tribes live with a very communal rather than individualistic way of thinking and thus when someone commits a crime or wrongs another person, they must make amends by performing acts of service or giving back to the community rather than the wronged person. This system makes recompense a very public and shameful thing helping to maintain peace and order within the tribes while also promoting forgiveness and healing since it is the comunity as a whole who decide that the person has done enough or not rather than a wronged party.

#### Demography and Population

Humans and Halflings make up most of the demography with a few Gnomes who have come down from Jal'hep mainly for research purposes, they have learned to live in harmony with the jungle, using its resources to survive while also protecting it from harm. They are skilled hunters, gatherers, and farmers who have developed a deep understanding of the plants and animals that call the jungle home.

They live in small tribes scattered throughout the jungle, each with their own unique customs and traditions but they fit into three general types, the coastal, the river and the forest tribes based on where within the country they live. While they will often compete for resources and even fight they do all of this with a high degree of civility and tend to keep good relations with one another.

#### Religions / Beliefs

Most people worship Gozreh though it is quite an unrefined religion and the worship of them is quite akin to simply worshiping nature itself and the forest, next to Gozreh Erastil is worshiped but is known as Sinamiss which is a slightly more intense form of worship than normal Erastil worship focusing on the thrill of the hunt and forceful protection of the forest. The next most common deity is Desna who is worshiped as a deity who will watch over tribes and tribes people from her position in the night sky.

These are the three main dieties in Janmier whose religions spread through out the tribes while other deities tend to only be worshiped in tribes where the whole tribe follows them because they started the tribe as a group of followers like those who follow Lamastu, Tharizdun or Urgathoa.

#### Economics and Trade

The tribes regularly trade with one another and between tribes but rarely do they trade with other nations, other than Jal'hep from Muin-Ru who often buy food and raw resources from those on the ground and sell them medicines. dyes and trinkets mainly.

The people of Janmer make natural dyes made from plants and insects found in the jungle which become valuable trade commodities or ways to store wealth within the country. They use these dyes to create intricate patterns on their clothing and body art, which are an important part of their cultural identity and some rituals.
