Imari

The Imari are a resilient and culturally rich people whose history is deeply entwined with the rise and fall of the legendary city of Ashenti, often called the "City of Stars." Originally a nomadic tribe known as the Essil, the Imari were forced to adapt to the harsh conditions of the First World, wandering the deserts until they discovered an oasis surrounded by rosy quartz canyons, which would become the foundation of Ashenti. The discovery of this oasis marked the transformation of the Imari from nomads into a settled civilization with a deep appreciation for knowledge, art, and familial loyalty.
  The Imari are renowned for their commitment to one another, a principle rooted in their name, which means "family." This sense of unity and communal strength was vital for their survival in the desert and later became the cornerstone of their society in Ashenti. The city itself was a marvel of architecture and culture, featuring terraced gardens, an observatory, and a vast library that attracted scholars from distant lands, including the Chatillian sages of Nirithea. The Imari were also known for their unique traditions, such as naming their sons and fathers after the air (Abishai) and their daughters and mothers after the Nadiya, the life-giving lake at the heart of their city​​.
