Kamek

Physical Description: Kamek are the description given to the native Tellurians of the plains of Kaman. Much like, Imperians, Kamek come from all regions of the world, and have widely varied physical traits. The kamek who are native to Kaman often have dark or tanned skin, and dark hair and eyes. Even the fairer ethnicity that move to Kaman will find that they have a tan within a short while of living there.

Society: Kaman is the truest metling pot on Aculon. All races and cultures are accepted here, and the predominant culture is made of small broken fragments of countries and cultures long past. It is truly a culture of people who are down on their luck. The hardships of their past has molded them into a fierce warrior society that maintains tribal family values. Families are more than lineage, and single family may not have a single person related by blood, or even a single person of the same race. Dwarfs, elves, Kamek, orcs all come together under the same roofs, and their culture a strange mishmash of all aforementioned races. They are fiercely protective of their own, and adhere to strict value of duty honor and sacrifice. It is a society where even the young are indoctrinated as a soldiers apprentice. Children are considered the most important part of the family, and as such jobs, money, wealth should go to them. A home is a fortress, and a mother is a quartermaster, an uncle is the local dwarf smith, a brother could be a young orc orphan, and a father is any man in the household willing to help train the child. Orphans are common in Kamek society, and it is common for children to never know their biological parents- and yet this is rarely an issue.

The majority of the countries trade export are mercenaries, and the country as a whole is known for its world class soldiers for hire. Although they are sparse, it is a common sight to see one out of their country- if this is the case they are most certainly on a job. Kamek warriors do settle in other countries and are often displaced as they look for work, but they are never found in a large tribe-family outside of Kaman. It shoul be noted that Kaman are very culturally aware because of their wide experience in their own households- however it should be noted that they are also the most apathetic to cultural values. In terms of culture shock, a Kamek will never feel this sensation.

Language: The Kamek language is an amalgam of common, orcish, dwarvan, and elvish, and several abstractions thereof.

Adventurers: A Kamek will almost always gravitate towards soldier work, or mercenary work. Unless raised by Kamek outsiders, they will often lean away from magic because of superstitions. They are loyal and dutiful, even if to themselves.
