Cultures of the Imperium (WIP)
Agni
The Agni are easy to recognize because of their silver hair and they are often dressed in red, a color no other race within the Imperium would dare wear. The Agni are notable because before the creation of Mundus, they fought alongside the Chaos Dragon. For many years the Agni beared the shame of their ancestors, but in time have proven themselves to be loyal to the Seraphim and to the Imperium; devout followers of the Pantheon of the Hallowed.
Azrul
Cilkoth
Kasen
The Kasen lived originate from the coasts of Orphela. They are a vibrant people know for their social nature. Kasen have many festivals and celebrations, and a number of rules surrounding social gatherings. It is also extremely common for the Kasen to have dyed hair, a ritual that dates back to their early history.
Maar
The Maar are the infamous tribesmen of the Bloodplains. They are the most radically different from the rest of the peoples of the Imperium. Their society is divided into a number of clans. Despite the importance of one's birth clan, it is extremely common for Maar to join and live among various different clans throughout their lives. In many ways the life of the clans is still the same of its ancient days. They live as nomadic hunter gather society. But they are not without the modern convinces of life. Cell phones, laptops, trucks, guns and more are common sights within a clan's camping sight.
The Maar Clans are in some ways militant societies. Leadership of a clan is always given to the strongest warrior among them. As such, anyone within a clan at anytime can challenge a Chieftain for their position. This places an extreme importance on the Chieftain to ensure that their people are happy. Almost every Maar is trained as a skilled hunter, horseman, and soldier. Because of this, before the stability of modern era, the clans easily threaten the peace of the Imperium. It was a Maar that was first able to conquer and establish the Imperium.
Religion is also slightly different among the Maar. While they are still followers of the Pantheon of the Hallowed, they chose to focus their worship on one specific Seraph, Jisu. And their isolation from the rest of the Imperium has lead to them developing a number of unique holy practices. The religious auhtority within the Bloodplains are the Jisu Sect, a female priesthood. The Sibyl, the women of the Jisu Sect, serve the clan in a variety of roles. While in theory the Jisu Sect answers to the Church, in practices this is almost impossible to enforce.
