Muhaf-Loush

There is famously no love lost between the Muhaf and the tribal Idiari. The Muhaf's ancestry is the oldest, in terms of recognizable cultural markers, and they tend to resent the Idiarish for being their nation's namesake.     As Muhaf became the nation's industrial powerhouse, they swiftly exhausted their own region's accessible ores and became reliant on the significantly more abundant ores mined in the mountains. This rubbed many Muhaf the wrong way, and the driving force for their colonial expansion was the desire to seek out new sources of ore and other necessary resources.     The Muhaf were among the most prolific tribes in terms of colonization, helping establish many of the Southern Colonies, the Eddy Colonies, and the Frost Colonies. These have become among the most contentious of Idiari's colonies among the natives, as they frequently involve heavy damage to natural features (damaging mountains for mining, establishing factories and refineries which produce pollution), but also Idiari's most profitable. Many native people, particularly in the Eddy Colonies, were gradually forced to work in the mines or factories as the environment where they had previously made their livelihood was destroyed.
