Zonrazeh

The Zonrazeh are a culture in Zonrazeh Province (South and Central Jarazeh), comprising approximately 15% of the Jarazeh Population are the descendants of the Habbei Pom and overall Najer in the New World, they arrived thanks to Zond in the Promised Land, where they mixed with the Interbred to create the Modern Zonrazeh Culture. The people were liberated and united following the blip with the guidance of Armino'so ve-Zond'Labbeh. In modern times he has taken a backseat and their society is mostly led by Kafoosali ve-Zond'Labbeh and Enea'so ve-Zond'Labbeh.

Fashion
Zonrazeh typically only wear blue and gold yellow Harem Pants and typically match them with long, smooth robes made of dyed camel hair to signify the Zonrazeh's symbiotic relationship with the creatures of the dunes, who they refer to as "Dwunmah", this is believed due to their ancient Najer Nomad where they needed to stay cool, so they wore baggy or not many clothes across the genders. They often use colors as a hierarchal system, sporting blue as regular citizens, spots of red or complete red with high-ranking individuals and purple for those held in very high esteem. Gold is the accent color of choice as it symbolizes the shining beauty of the Zonrazeh peoples. The Zonrazeh typically sport mid-to-long hair, having typically wavy or curly hair, hair is held as extremely valuable in Zonrazeh culture, this is due to the thought that hair protects from evil spirits.

Spirituality
The Zonrazeh believe in the idea of Good Spirits and Bad Spirits; the Good Spirits follow Zond in his quest to rid the world of ignorance, sadness, self-indulgence and greediness, among these is the Hissam-al-Hassi, the Dajoom and the Yoomee, who appear themselves to people in their darkest hour, give them the resilience to carry on and live for a few years more, the Good Spirits (Moohat) are always in fight the Bad ones (Teejim).

Bad spirits, in exchange, try their best to deceive people down a path of Greediness, Self-indulgence, Misery and Hate, they are usually spotted in the middle of the desert, at the person's lowest point they'll try to break them even more, ridding them of hope, artistically they are represented as a an idecypherable blob, to depict the Zonrazeh's worst fear, what they are unable to understand, it is said hair protects from them entering the brain through the ear, though camel hair robes also work to block their path.

Typically, a Tarmooj is elected as a sort of "Sage" of the city, they are those who are consulted in times of need to communicate with the Zond, Tarmoojes are not obligatory to have in communities, but they are a traditional religious figure in the towns.

Animals
The Zonrazeh usually adopt a camel from childbirth, a special breed originating in Zondamah that lives 60 or so years, the child is expected to take care of it like its his best friend, they grow a huge link that is expected to last a live time, the Camel is put in the same resting spot as the Human once one days and vice versa. Camels are a big status symbol. If a camel is more decorated that means one is able to give more for it, this practice however is viewed down upon due to the modesty of the peoples.

Boxing
