Culture

Culture and cultural heritage

One of the techniques the Afa'Kaeike learned through time was a developed type of trap that could be put in natural environment, which is inspired of other cultures from the nearby archipelago: the oiled pit. Starting with a regular manhole,the bottom is filled with sharpened bamboos. Since most were used to fight against Serpentfolks a long time ago, the hole's side were covered with a thick oil gathered from specific fishes nearby the sea side. This made the holes almost impossible to crawl or climb from until either the oil wore off or was made inactive with specific materials. If the holes were made for the serpentfolks, the bamboo spike were filled with poison or other dangerous substances to apply on wounds like manure. this extra precaution was removed in hunting grounds however, as they would not want to poison the meat of the fauna they would hunt for sustenance.
the oiling of manhole was used latter in other cultures for similar problems against vermin or monsters with high capacity to climb back such hazards.

Common Dress code

Most Afa'Kaeike live in the archipelago they originated of () but some also are leaving near the coast of (). As such, they use flax, cabbage leaves and materials to make their clothing. For those that ventured near (), different types of fabrics are used outside of ceremonies which are easier to access like linen, but most keep parts of their cultural heritage in their clothing such as bracelets or hair pins (usually made of feathers or limestone).

Art & Architecture

Afa'Kaeike developped early abilities in stonecarving and woodcarving during their labor days under the ruling hand of the serpentfolks, and kept those skills after the cataclysm. They used their woodcarving abilities early to develop canoes which became a staple of their culture as it helped them expand and discover new cultures but also new materials.
