The Gravelanders are a group of humans that live in the swamps known as the Gravelands in western Kaien. To outsiders, they are considered to be Kaienese, but the Gravelanders consider themselves as separate and not beholden to Kaienese laws.
Gravelander settlements are constructed on stilts to account for the changes in water levels over the different seasons, and often are built in such a way as to camouflage them within the surrounding trees. To cultivate crops, they have created floating fields that rise and fall with the water.
They have elaborate rituals surrounding birth and death, and consider the endemic bog deer to be sacred.
