daior

Daior, also known as the Daior people, are an indigenous group primarily residing in the mountainous regions of the continent of Xylos. Their history is deeply intertwined with the land, and their culture is characterized by a strong connection to nature and a tradition of oral storytelling. Historically, the Daior have been semi-nomadic, following migratory patterns of local fauna and seasonal plant growth.

The Daior language, which has several regional dialects, is part of the larger Xylosian language family. While specific numbers are difficult to ascertain, the Daior population is estimated to be in the tens of thousands. Their social structure traditionally emphasizes community and kinship, with decisions often made through consensus among elders.

The economy of the Daior has historically relied on hunting, gathering, and a form of subsistence agriculture. In recent decades, some Daior communities have engaged more with the wider economy, participating in trade and crafts. Their spiritual beliefs are animistic, revering spirits within natural elements such as mountains, rivers, and ancient trees. These beliefs significantly influence their daily practices and their respect for the environment. Contemporary Daior society faces challenges related to land rights, cultural preservation, and integration with modern societal structures, while many actively work to maintain their distinct heritage.
