Amunati

The Amunati are the people of the lower Tamarat River in northern Idiri, descendants of one of the greatest kingdoms of the ancient world which is now just another province of the Sirdabi Caliphate. They are a very proud people with a strong sense of exclusive identity, and many among them consider themselves culturally superior to their Sirdabi conquerors. Despite this they are largely uninterested in the idea of independence from the caliphate, preferring rather to steer it from within by attaining positions of influence and power. They have a reputation for cunning, arrogance, and deceit -- but the Amunati themselves would claim this is largely the product of jealousy at their success. Most ordinary Amunati are now peaceful people with a love for natural beauty and the visual arts, and many have a mystical bent that influences their worship. Their province produces talented astrologers as well as engineers and builders.

Appearance

Amunati usually have copper to dark brown complexions and dark hair that runs the full range of textures from straight to kinked, and they tend to be taller than most other peoples of Idiri.
