Alanai

The Alanai(High Aristii - Álanii) are a people from what is now Far Eastern Aristios, as well as what's now Western Drakaes. They are now considered an Aristii subculture, but historically were greatly influenced by native Takavians and Sea-Faring Katolians as well as Aristii to the west.

You'll sometimes hear the Alanai called the term “Xozako”, which begun as an exonym used by victims of Alanai raids.

Culture
The Alanai culture shares many similarities with the culture of the Aristii, but with some unique aspects.

Religion
While most modern Alanai are Voclarists, the ancient ones followed Ciarism, and the tradition is still celebrated, although not venerated. The majority of conversions came in wake of War with A'kratoria, where they were made to convert or die.
