"This land was marked by the gods, and we are their chosen people"
Settled on the northern side of the Hìt, near where the mighty river spills out into the ocean, the devote Atòrganì people farm and worship their gods. The group of Kegani people live in tribes and small towns. Scattered across the Atòrganì lands are large religious mounds constructed to mimic the mountains of the north, reaching as much as 100ft into the sky, with great stone alters on top to burn offerings to Atòr, the god of the harvest, as well as the other gods of the Kegani people (Khenta, Ehìt, Shàl bher, Thàm bhìn, Herî, Kegà). These mounds are used by multiple tribes, who visit them every new moon to celebrate the pact that the gods made so long ago in the mountains to the northeast of their lands. The largest of these mounds is to the very southernmost point of their lands, where the flowing water comes to a stop.
Growing rice between the mounds that support the communal homes of the people, the patriarchal society has large, multigenerational families that work together. The homes are constructed out of mud bricks and wood. Short, low wooden bridges constructed from the cleared forests for their farmlands criss-cross the fields. Living in the ancestral homeland of the Kegani people, Kega, they keep close ties with the Hegèni-Athalâ to the north, and the other group of Keganis to the south across the great Hìt river.
The Atòrganì are usually tall, light-brown skinned with long, straight noses and high cheekbones. Though the hair of the Atòrganì is mostly brown and black, Red hues are not unusual, and very prized. White [JUTE OR COTTON] tunics are the traditional clothes for both men and women. These tunics are tied at the waist for men and under the breast for women, while the men cover their head with dyed turbans, the women leave their hair exposed. This exposed hair is to allow the women to braid their hair very intricately after marriage.
Each town is ruled by a war chief, picked from the heads of each family in town for their achievements through hunting or war. But the family is more important, tightly knit within the homes, they for their own town-like social structures. The surrounding towns of a mound loosely work under the priests that live in the monastery near it. The priests will get involved in political matters only if it interferes with the gods, like when a feud between towns is against the god's wishes.
