Culture and Locations

Undin is a city-state in the southwestern corner of Batur. It is ruled by a zhadas chieftain who acts as both a king and a warlord, with a Sunkhu shaman to advise his 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. Undins are typically unemotional people, renowned for their coldness, even in the face of tragedy. The heart of the city-state is Dhaq.

History and Relations

Undin as a culture is a leftover of recent Oolu expansionism around 800AL, and has since become independent and mixed Oolu culture with local Dunin culture. They are known as one of the richest slaving cities in the region and mainly sail across the Sea of Ash and the Heder Sea to Jindiara to enslave the peoples there. The people in Undin are a mix of Batur, Temanean, and Oolu ethnic groups. They enslave the Runus, Sradaji, and Tesakri, they colonised Kafradi, and they are friendly with the Bandiao Dynasty. They mainly export timber and slaves.

Military and Art

Undin's most distinct warriors are their slavers who have great fighting and sailing skills, and are known to prefer capturing victims as slaves rather than kill them, believing that most people are useful for something. Their most distinct architectural features include shallow domes and dzong style architecture, and they are known for their hunting and sailing.
