Sofians

The Sofians (also known by the endonym Yamaniyal) were an ancient civilization that originated on the shores of Lake Tlath and spread to the west and south, settling most of West-Eastern Thir. Commonly and erronously reffered to as the "first East Thirian civilization", the Sofians thrived through most of the First Era, collapsing with the arrival of Atamid Djinn from the west. Their culture, however, managed to live on through the successor Djinn states that took on many aspects of various Sofian cultures; the Kingdom of Amaniye is thought to be the last remnant of the now practically extinct Sofian civilization, somehow having managed to survive the advent of the Djinn.

Over the course of history the Sofians became divided in terms of language and culture, separating into the Northern, Southern and Western Sofians. Each of these civilizations boasted a unique culture that was still similar in many ways to other Sofian cultures.
