Shuiren

Shuiren, also known as Thazeveren are a distinct ethnic group that had descended from a series of tribes originating from the north-eastern region of Demesne of A'shiraf'sir. As of 1051 AB they are mostly indigenous at the Isle of Thazeivre.  

Names and Etymology

The groups named the Shuiren(Shui- Bay, Ren- inhabitant in A'shiraf'sirizeen Dialect) were descendants of tribes that had lived coast side, as they have been regarded those of lesser standing by the elites and noble factions as they did not live in the cities but by the ports.   After the A'shiraf'sir Territorial Grab, the majority of the groups identifying themselves as Shuiren settled in the Isle of Thazivre, and had started to refer to themselves as Thazeveren, a combination of the derogatory name given to them and their new status.    

History

Ever since the creation of the, Drow Demesne within the territories of the oldest noble house there were groups of Drow that didn't take much interest within the idealistic customs, and rather preferred investing their efforts by attaining economic prosperity, such actions had led the noble houses and ruling elites to execute the heads of the tribes that turned down their practices and banished the tribes out of their cities, also known as The Banishment of the Great.   After the banishment, three settlements were built by coast, only two of them remain as the third settlement was destroyed entirely by heavy War of the east.   A third settlement was rebuilt and became the largest of the Shuiren settlements, it is located in the Isle of Thazeivre.  

Culture and arts

Arts festival

The Shuiren are mostly known for their contribution to the written word as they have sponsored many writers spread throughout Epeoris, and since 933 AB they have sponsored the annual festivals of arts, where writers and jewellers had gained grants to reward them for their work.
Every eight years the festivities take place in the Isle of Thazeivre.  

Traditional wear

As they have been banished from the bigger cities and had to build their own settlements, they have adapated their wear to include longer shawls that allow the wearers to cover themselves from the sun when not enough cover to was yet to shade all around.
