Axagori

Axagori is the ethnic name given to those individuals who hail from the lands of Axagor, the continent to the south of Orden which has long since been devoured by the Phyte.
The Axagori are often shunned and distrusted by Ordeni due to their long history of strife and combat. The Suevira in particular have a fervent dislike of the Axagori, which is perhaps due to their vehement rejection of the Creadores and of gods in general.
With their numbers devastated and without a home, the Axagori are refugees in a land that dislike and fear them.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

Depending on the race, the ideals of physical form vary, but on the whole, the Axagori value valor and combat prowess. This is reflected in their beauty ideals. Scars and wounds are indicative of an individual's courage, and as such, some individuals will accentuate them with tattoo pigment as they heal or by turning them into designs by adding smaller scars around them.

Gender Ideals

In Axagori culture, the measure of an individual is based on merit and what they bring to and take away from the battlefield. That being said, the difference between the sexes is known and acknowledged. Males are expected to be strong and females are expected to be fast.
New parents are given honorable discharge from active duty and expected to train their children in the basics of combat until they're old enough to join a war academy. Upon which, the parents will re-enlist

Major organizations
