Sēna Adahō
People of the Tahōhya forest were known in the Wīzoha Empire as Sēna Adahō, simply translated to the "people of the forest". They relied on the amphibious fauna in the region for food, additionally practicing fishing and gathering to supplement what hunting in the watery swamps and wet forest could not provide.
Throughout their history, the Adahō lived in isolation from other cultures. Even among themselves, one tribe might have had a few closer friendships, while largely ignoring and separating themselves from others.
Adahō religion derived from the Old Faith, however it evolved to fit their environment. Water snakes took center stage as symbols of the cycle of life, birth and motherhood. This also influenced the family dynamics of the Adahō people, who adopted a more matrifocal structure where the eldest woman (often the mother or the grandmother) held the most power and influence over her kin.
