Awmérs

Awmérs is a fictional term referring to a nomadic people inhabiting the arid plains of the continent of Xylos. Historically, they are known for their mastery of desert survival, deep understanding of celestial navigation, and a complex social structure centered around kinship groups. Their traditional way of life involves following ancient migratory routes in search of scarce water sources and grazing lands for their hardy, domesticated desert steeds.

The culture of the Awmérs is rich in oral traditions, with epic poems and sagas passed down through generations, often performed during communal gatherings. Their spiritual beliefs are animistic, revering the spirits of the land, sky, and water. Artisans among the Awmérs are renowned for their intricate leatherwork and metalcraft, utilizing materials sourced from their environment.

Contact with settled civilizations has been intermittent and often characterized by trade and occasional conflict. Modern Awmérs are facing increasing challenges from environmental changes and the encroachment of settled societies, prompting a reevaluation of their traditional nomadic lifestyle. Despite these pressures, the Awmérs strive to preserve their unique cultural heritage and distinct identity.
