Salian

The Salian are the group of people born and raised in Saline, one of the countries in the desert of Sembar. With their culture formed around parts of the Salt Spires making them a tough group of people.   They feature mostly the species of Kenhika and Donhuid, as they struck a commercial partnership to settle the country. There are other neighbouring species that cross the land, but often they do not settle in.   They are well known hunters of the Wrumen, practically bringing them to extinction. This makes them a very hard working and warrior focused culture. With the Donhuid being slightly weaker physical it leads to them taking on the roles of foraging and the commercial side. In addition with most the female ms being Donhuid. While the Kenhika typically do the hunting and harvesting.   They typically worship one of the three pantheons depending on how they were raised. The World Smiths for those deeply connected to their giant ancestors. The Totems for those in tune with the spiritual side. And then the Saline Birther for the pantheon that merged the two ideas into one.

Interesting group of people you have here! I'd love to know a little more about these three main pantheons that they revere. Also, what part of their upbringing decides which pantheon they will worship in the future? Do they always stick to the same one, or are there cases of people switching from one pantheon to another? ^^   Keep up the good work! :D
