mlénéms

Mlénéms is a small, relatively unknown indigenous group primarily residing in the remote northeastern regions of the fictional continent of Eldoria. Their name, Mlénéms, translates roughly to "people of the whispering reeds" in their native tongue, a reference to their traditional homeland which is characterized by extensive marshlands and tall grasses.

Historically, the Mlénéms have lived a semi-nomadic existence, their movements dictated by seasonal migrations of local fauna and the availability of edible plants. Their society is organized into small, clan-based communities, with a strong emphasis on communal living and resource sharing. Traditional crafts include intricate weaving using reeds and animal hides, and the creation of simple, yet effective, hunting tools.

Little is documented about their spiritual beliefs, though anthropological studies suggest a deep reverence for nature and animistic traditions. They are believed to have a complex oral history passed down through generations via songs and storytelling. Contact with external cultures has been minimal, and they remain largely isolated, maintaining their unique traditions and way of life. Their population is estimated to be in the low thousands.
