Simulamii

The Simulamii people are a culture group in the nation of the Korlenten Sarinzerilin. They are a mix of Korbuny, Floramii and Stormgovan as these cultures have grown close over the period of hundreds of years.

An average Simulamii is slender, tawny-skinned with hair that ranges from blonde, brown, red or black and eyes that are Brown, Blue, Green or Orange. This is inherited from the Krobuny, Floramii and Stormgovans who had a wide range of characteristics. The Simulamii reach adulthood in their late teens, often living for less than a century, with the exception of High Nobles such as Maestro, Ludwig and Hrafn individuals who are said to be mixed with the Niedene. They range from 5 to 6 feet tall and vary in height and build.

Culture
When referring to the language, it is Klobir. If referring to the nations it is Simulami and Sarinzerilin.

Initially, the Simulamii people were used to refer to a mix of Krobuny and Floramii people on mainland Eldham in the Ulvia, Munio and Finnibus provinces where the Krobuny and Floramii settled together during the colonisation of Eldham.

Upon their arrival to Abexilas on the Onnoth fleet, there were no strictly Krobuny or Floramii towns and many chose to live together in harmony, fully embracing the Simulamii identity and culture. Some Stormgovans settled elsewhere, but many also joined the Simulamii merger. They mostly use to Klobir language to communicate, as that is most spoken within the Sarinzerilin nation. The provinces of Lathralt and Tronvar are provinces which have a majority Simulamii population, along with the Grand Capital of Varrenvar.

Cuisine
Traditional dishes such as the world-famous Myrcarnae (Myrkiran Beef Stew) feature prominently in Simulamii cuisine. Dishes are often flavoured with Vylkrika (ground red peppers), a Krobuny innovation. The Vylkrika Violet Pepper and its powdered form, obtained in a special grounding way, is used in any typical Simulamii dish. Those around the southern-eastern Rathnir parts usually grow and eat it in spicier forms and make dishes such as the Krob Stew, a well-known Krobuni Bay dish. Draaken potatoes and Spruce Harvest Potatoes are all-around feeding the Korlenten and served in almost every dish.

The nobility around the Korlenten has grown a feasting culture over the Triumarial period, where every month a large, flashy feast would be held by one of the noble houses and every other noble in the area would traditionally receive an invite. This tradition was started by House Ludwig, and it is an opportunity for Nobles to impress one another and they take it very seriously and spend lots of money on these gatherings. Famous desserts such as the Ludfrinl (Ludwig Cheescake) and Prismaan Gloza Frinl (Prismaan apple cake) have grown very popular.

Strivold Cibusmin (Soldier’s Streetfood) is a relatively new, but popular way of dining for the modern Simulamii people, it originates from the Soldiers stationed in New Asteri during the battle of Nidaros, and quickly spread across the Simulami Empire from there. Stalls are set up on the side of popular roads, where people can buy hot food for cheap and it is quickly prepared, this is very convenient for those travelling to work in Urban areas. The most popular street food is Avornklorn, where a piece of chicken is put in between two pieces of flatbread, it often contains Vylrika and Onions. A popular sweet delicacy is New Jellhem Chimney Cake, where dough is wrapped around a wooden split then cooked over a fire, then the Cake is coated in sugar, vanilla or cinnamon.

Other dishes such as Müviel roast lamb, Carthus fried rice, trout with veggie filling, Morgcsusza (Morgöd Jam Shoots), Simulamii-Boeuf bourguignon are widely popular.

The Aquizian Tavern is the most distinctive type of Simulamii inn, an old-style two story building offering traditional dishes and beverages. Well-known Suda-Vialum drinks are the Kelp-Wine and Cherry syrup fron (soda).

Sarinzerilin bathhouses and spas are featured all around the country from towns to cities. An average Sarinzerilin Noble usually requires high-quality thermal water access near their home.

Ordakor (Connect 4) is a traditional 2 player game which was first played by Krobuni soldiers at war camps, which kept them occupied and actively thinking while waiting for a battle to begin. It put them in a mindset ready for war and fighting mentally, and was a time of peace and relaxation physically. The game has grown very popular across Sarinzerilin with towns dedicating entire squares, arenas and facilities to it.
