Neyitian

Neyitian refers to a cultural and ethnic group originating from the fictional world of Aethelgard. They are characterized by their deep connection to the sea and coastal regions, and their society is heavily influenced by maritime traditions. Neyitians are known for their skilled craftsmanship, particularly in shipbuilding and navigation, which has allowed them to establish extensive trade routes across the known world. Their settlements are typically found along sheltered bays and river deltas, featuring architecture that blends seamlessly with the natural environment.

The Neyitian language is melodic and incorporates many nautical terms, reflecting their lifestyle. Their spiritual beliefs often revere ocean deities and celestial bodies used for navigation. Historically, Neyitians have been a peaceful people, prioritizing trade and diplomacy over conflict. However, they are also capable of fierce defense when their homelands or livelihoods are threatened. Their society is organized into clans, each with a hereditary chieftain who advises a council of elders. While unified by common heritage, individual clans may have distinct customs and specialties. The Neyitian economy relies heavily on fishing, pearl diving, and the export of rare sea-based resources.
