Nawati

History
At various points throughout history, invading forces from Aleauforre and, later, forces from the Evoran government, have attempted to forcibly take control of Nawati land. All such efforts have failed, but as a result the Nawati population has drastically diminished over the past several centuries.

The last such attempt to control Nawati land took place shortly after the Sorcerer's War. Weakened and humiliated, the Evoran military attempted to reestablish their power by attacking the Nawati. They were met with a bloody and resounding defeat, as the Nawati employed guerrila tactics on both land and sea to kill thousands of Evoran soldiers and escape with minimal losses of their own.

The struggle ended in year 23 when the Evoran king sent five of his most decorated soldiers and five of his most cunning ambassadors to the Nawati high chief. They claimed they had been sent to negotiate, but in fact had been sent to poison the water supply and wipe out the tribe. Five days later, the chief appeared in the Evoran court, flanked by his soldiers, to deliver the severed heads and flayed bodies of the king's ten emissaries.

Culture
The Nawati are generally a peaceful people, but they are suspicious of outsiders and make formidable enemies when threatened. Having been invaded so many times, most communities maintain a strict militia ready to defend them. However, they maintain trade relationships with Osornia as well as traveling smugglers.
