Awadri

the Tribal People of Enish

Not to be confused with the modern Awarea, the people known as the Awadri were tribal Humans that dwelt in northern Jerain during the Randagri Period. In some ancient texts they are referred to as being a tribe of the Enishan culture. As the Awadri have no written records these is no direct evidence that they are connected to the more ancient people that once dwelt in the land. Most scholars will point to the fact that even without evidence can be deduced that the people are one in the infact Enishan due to the regions they dwelt. If so, the Awadri are Enishan survivors of the Aggelomachy.

The Awadri were largely a nomadic people, though it would seem there is cases of Awadri villages appearing in some location. One such location where these nomadic people settled into villages is around what the ancients called Lake Zeaz. Little evidence remains of these eastern settled Awadri as their villages are lost under the waters of the Gulf of Zeaz today.

The Awadri were known to hunt and later domestic the Long Horn Bison of their region. The hides of the great beast were used for clothing, tents, and other leather works. Their bones were useful in creating weapons and art. But meat was the primary use for this animal.

Tales of the Awadri being or allied with Wererat is a common theme among the Neo Noch people. As the Neo Noch had nothing but distain for the Awadri, one must take these stories with a grain of salt.

Gilgurth devastated the Awadri people. Fires spread throughout their lands in the days after the impact. Flooding from glacier melt in the months after the fires. Those that survived were left with a waterlogged land of ashy mud. The tribes were scattered and broken. The two surviving ethnic groups come out of these survivors were the Imaeli and the Jerai. The Imaeli were those dwelling around Zeaz, and are believed to be the ancestors of the modern Imaeli people of the Awardi Archipelago. The Jerai traveled south into the icy lands of Southern Jerain. It is they that the Southern Reach of Ethae gains its name, as they spread grew and spawned several major cultures of Southern Jerain, including the Los, the Sesphel, and the Madradi.
