Prasit


The final remnants of Bang Rari. When Rajpathar consumed this territory, many fled into Riseyng. There, they erected the city-state of Prasit, where they were able to retain a majority of their culture and way of life.

Prasit is a smaller city-state, walled for safety from the treacherous desert. Broad streets are built to accommodate the woolly elephants that make up their beasts of burden and public transport, chimeras developed by Deshela as a sign of good will.

It is a community focused settlement, lacking a formal law enforcement. Their answer to city guards are the Public Servants, or "Pubs" that aid people in their day to day lives and defuse more dangerous situations.

Landmarks


The Temple of Kiyam

Made from white and pink stone, the temple of Kiyam is a healing center, offering both cures to physical ailments and "soul stitching". There is a chapel for marriage, and many temple services are centered around the development of relationships and families. 

The Druid Grove

A magically sustained park, resembling the original landscape of Bang Rari. It contains a dense jungle canopy, water and humidity that defy the desert climate, and magical creatures such as drakes and elementals.


Bangrarian Culture

The Bangrarian people see the body as something sacred.They wear covering clothes and veils, hiding all but the eyes from view. The body houses the soul, and therefore should be protected. The practices passed down through Bangrarian tradition are called NiymNe (nee-YUM nay).

Intimacy can often be indicated by how much of the body is uncovered while in private. Longstanding acquaintances may remove gloves, and friends remove veils. Family would have no need to cover beyond what is comfortable for personal privacy.

Pieces of the body that are removed, such as cut hair, horns, or nails, are to be collected and burned. To gift someone a sachet with a lock of hair, a drop of blood, or a cutting of horns is akin to calling them your soulmate — platonic, romantic, or familial. Marriages and childbirth commonly include a symbolic drawing of blood for this reason.

Exceptions

In order to accommodate the changing times, some means of expediting intimacy have been developed. Those who emigrated from Prasit have popularized a practice of painting protective wards on the face. This allows for one to have their face uncovered in front of people they aren't on intimate terms with, most commonly for the purpose of dating.

Naming

Bangrarians do not have family names as is common in Asuvia. Instead, they track lineage most commonly through the parent that birthed them, by utilizing said parent's name as the child's last name. The gender of the child can determine the prefixed for this name:

Chae (Chai) for "Son of"

Sao (Sow) for "Daughter of"

Dek (Dayk) for "Child of"

For instance, a woman named Hansa who was born to a woman named Banjit would be named Hansa SaoBanjit.
