The Saammai Organization in Ayonerra | World Anvil

The Saammai

Med'Hea founded the Saammai Order after fleeing her dying planet Sept'Ambra. Each member was an original Menes'ha directly created by her. With Saammai's help, Med'Hea wished to oppose Shemokmedi and ensure other planets wouldn't share her homeland's fate.   Following her initial failures, Med'Hea descended on Ayonerra and established her base on the isolated mountain west of Amaarion, which later became the Colchid Isles. Saammai acted as her warriors, opposing Hskaner and Amaars to ensure Ayonerra's task was left unfulfilled. Following the Hskaner genocide, the order remained Med'Hea's trusted spies, keeping an eye on the planet and informing her of any significant disturbances.

The Saammai Attire and Code of Conduct

Every Saammai dons the same mask and attire while visiting the Colchid Isles. The androgynous masks alter the wearer's voice, making it indistinguishable from other members. The Saammai place a high value on secrecy, thus they are prohibited from disclosing any private information. Most members rarely talk to each other aside from reporting new findings. Most cities have designated meeting spots to share acquired intelligence without visiting the isles.

Demography and Population

Med'Hea based the first Saammai on Sept'Ambrans sacrificed to her name, thus Menes'has were the only members. As the years passed, many Ayonerrans got curious about the enigmatic island and set out to discover its secrets. The newcomer is allowed to live only if Med'Hea favours and accepts them into the Saammai. Thus the order incorporates races from all over Ayonerra. Most Saammai don't permanently stay on Colchid Isles, instead returning to their past lives and spying on their homelands.

Mostly resembling ancient Mesopotamian clothing. The masks are similar to the Mask of Warka, but more androgynous.   I plan on drawing them in the future!
