Heimater (Ethnicity)

The tragedy of the Ascal shows itself as a horrible shattering, the Heimater, a mere cultural divide. Their spread forms the core of the Latherian and Heilegeterran domains. Further, they give their language to the Navine. Heimaters on the whole tend to particularity, Latherians adhere to a specific cult and their ruling class’s aesthetic sensibility, while Heilegterrans tend to rigid adherence to the Holistic Church and their soft feudal system. From the outside, Hiemater society appears to centralize around drinking halls and churches, if one strips away its political layers. The Hiemater tend to appear arrogant to outsiders, largely stemming from their actions. Latherian Heimater famously overdesign equipment, tending to hit or miss reception in the field, this reputation only offset by their reliability as manufacturers tends to outweigh it. Their Hielegterran brethren don’t slouch on manufacturing volume, but they tend towards luxury goods such as instruments and high quality regular things such as writing utensils. Most Hiemater are seen as orderly, productive, and highly concerned with adherence to societal standards.

Heimater are seen as fairly similar to the Romd, despite physical distance.
