Itrii

The Itrii is a vague term for a large culture composed of a major branch of the Itrian language and culture group, situated along the southern and western coasts of Vura. They have little in common with neighboring tribes, like the Simbyrians or Ruths, indicating that they aren't native to these lands, a fact long argued on by historians.

History
The Itrii migrated relatively recently, along with many of their ethnic kin, from the east or south, and soon adopted the advancements and technologies of the tribes that they replaced. The beginning of the A.F.B. era was marked by a sudden expanse of the territory and population of the culture, in what has been labeled as the Great Expanse, still ongoing.

Government
The Itrii are organised in small, disunited tribes, with most of the tribes having elected chieftains to guide them in their rule, however, their power is miniscule when compared to the centralized states of the Fertile Crescent.

Demographics
Thanks to their rather queer and sexualized culture, the Itrii breed like rabbits. This is believed to be a driving force for the Great Expanse.

Military
The Itrii have very little tradition in large scale warfare, but are acquainted with fighting and familiar enough with their terrain that they could attempt resistance against an invader.

Economy
The Itrii are on the starting point of the Amber Road, and while they are not a centralized state and far from one, they produce quite a few goods that they sometimes trade with neighboring tribes. Most often, they exchange amber, furs, fish and train for copper and bronze tools, as well as various Southern luxuries.

Geography
The Itrian lands are forested heavily, with swamps and rivers cutting through the land.
