Nedian Overview
Having split off from the Harata long ago, the Nedians have developed a separate culture upon their island, which they are fiercely protective of. In their time, they acquired a new faith from a saint who passed through their lands and displayed many miracles. However, as time has passed, thy have become more and more isolationist...
Clothing
Nedians commonly wear robes with beaded shawls and brimless caps. In urban centers, modesty is much more considered, but in the countryside it is generally ignored unless what someone is not wearing is particularly egregious.
Weapons and Armor
Nedians employ longbows as their primary weapon of war, allowing them to deliver high densities of arrows to anyone who dares approach their territory. As a melee weapon, they carry a sickle-bladed sword or an axe. Spears are also not uncommon.
Most Nedians wear padded armor or even no armor, although wealthy nobles wear chainmail.
Religion
Nedians have faith in the Goddess and believe that her strength shall protect them from their heathen neighbors. There are elements of the original Harata faith in their current beliefs, although the spirits are much more downplayed and the Creator is subsumed into the identity of the Goddess.
