Mazumadi

Mazumadi is a group of more socially developed Lizardmen, with distinctly different animal features. They resemble chameleons, geckos, skinks, and the occasional turtle. Their exports include gold, gemstones, cash crops (Cocoa, Sugar and Coffee) and delicately crafted ceremonial items. They follow ancient gods in a polytheistic religion, worshipping idols of gold. Their capital is Kalino.

Society and Culture
Mazumadi are considerably more sophisticated than their counterpart, The Krotek, but not as much so as the Das Sikali in terms of economic and public growth. That being said, they are known for following strict religious practices and beliefs that keep their communication with other nations to a minimum. Their society follows a social hierarchy that places their religious chiefs and mages at the top, while other such as soldiers, farmers, and merchants line the bottom. This structure is based off of the Commandments of the Xi, which is their holy creed.

Religious Practices
Their practices date back hundreds, if not thousands of years - it was believed to have started as a cult to worship spiritual entities seen in a collective vision from beyond this realm - the only hint of their existence was two letters; "Xi." The moment where the Xi spoke to the Mazumadi is known as The Day of Cleansing, known current-day as a festival of great food, entertainment, and sacrifices to the Xi. This day happens to be the 21st of Terra (21st of March).
