Culture and Locations
Baturun is a tribal confederation. It is ruled by a zhadas chieftain who acts as both a king and a warlord and has other warlords beneath him, with Sunkhu shamans to advise their rule and keep everyone in touch with their ancestors. Sunkhu shamanism emphasises that everyone must atone for the wrongdoings of their ancestors by bringing honour and glory to their clans and keeping bad spirits at bay. Baturuns are known for being suspicious and wary, distrusting strangers more than most other Batur clans tend to. Their capital is Yqozldatt.
Baturun is mostly dry grassland surrounded by montane forest, with some savanna further down the Dari River at the south end of the Dividing Basin. The Dudeu, Ebu, and Damimes are three of the larger rivers that flow into this basin. Mount Roqudar sits on the border between Baturun, Oolu, and Yvabira to the west. The far eastern end of Baturun sees some arid shrubland along where the Yqozlu and Aqudiqe Rivers flow into the Amber River.
