Alaari

The Alaari are a small ethnic group that populate central Ummarnu. For almost all of their history, the Alaari people have been known for their ambition.

Apppearance
Throughout Rathnir, the Alaari are known for the fair pale skin, brighter than most of the other ethnic groups of Rathnir. Outside of skin tone, most travelers are able to pick out an Alaari from a crowd due to their eye color. Unlike a majority of cultures, the eye and hair color color of an Alaari vary based on their tribe (The Yuqra Tribe shown to the right). There is no specific common tribal color, but some common ones are brown, white, and blue. This does not mean they are restricted to those three. In fact, there are tribes with purple, red, and a variety of alterations. It is a strange concept, but it shows how to the Alaari, the tribal system is encoded into their genetics. Because of this fact, there has been debate among scholars if the Alaari are simply human crossed with a little bit of Talawan, or a whole separate race.

In addition to the distinguishable phenotypes, one of the most notable signs of an Alaari are their flower crowns. Each tribe, by tradition, have matching flower crowns. It doesn't have to line up with their phenotypes, but it is worn by each member of the tribe to

Tuaylaai

The Tuaylaai were a tribe that resided along the North-Western banks of the Illariqocha.

The Tuaylaai raised their children in a collective style. At birth the children are all taken and grouped together. A small group of the mothers usually 3-4 would stay with the infants in a specific walluar. As the children grew they were taught how to build and how to analyze structures thoroughly. A strong emphasis was placed on the curvature of architecture as it's heavily used within the Tuaylaai's style of building. Once the children were of age, generally around 15, they would go out and work around Rathnir as contract builders.

Differentiating someone from the Tuaylaai tribe among the other Alaari people can be difficult. The most distinguishing factors are the phayasum wreath that adorns their head combined with their icy white hair. (Phayasum is a black flower found in the local area of the Tuaylaai)
