Ethnic groups in Kiravia: Difference between revisions

The '''Varekthari''' are a linguistically isolated ''[[urom]]'' tribe native to the coastal mountains surrounding what is now the [[Mérosar]] metropolitan area. Their traditional lifestyle, like that of many Coscivian and pre-Coscivian peoples of the region, is sedentary food collection from the bountiful littoral regions they inhabit, which have a mild {{wp|west coast marine}} climate that gives rise to {{wp|temperate rainforest}}. Like their Coscivian neighbours, they converted to Catholicism during the Third Evangelisation of Kirav. In contemporary times, they struggle to maintain their cultural integrity due to the Coscivian urbanisation of their traditional homelands, which has disrupted the traditional economy, displaced historical Varekthari population centres, and accelerated {{wp|language loss}}. Despite this, Varekthari culture and iconography have been influential on the wider culture of the state, and the Varekthari people are valued by Coscivian-dominated social institutions in Metrea as "living heritage", which has helped the Varekthari to obtain important concessions of land, educational rights, and other goods to help reëstablish their cultural autonomy.
