Lifili

Lifili is a general term, applied to the people living in the southwestern part of Hadašham. They inhabitated the Damar and Egiten archipelagos alongside Kutaba, Panidutne, Tantorel, Imitas, Rahap and the Wild woods to the continents end. First imperial contact happened during the 3rd century when the Hadašhim forces crossed the Šyul and established themselves in the western regions. This induced important changes in the Lifili structures that have been organised around clans and chiefdoms.

Large part of the population was subsequently subjugated, but unlike the eastern territories no full-scale assimilation has happened. Lifili have shown stubborn perservance in matters of traditions and language, although the Thousander Faith was widely accepted by them. Some of them remained Independent alltogether, owing to the large distance and relative low quality of their lands.

From 757 onwards the Deluge led to a resurgence in Lifili power. Harassed by Westerners, the aboriginals turned against both them and the Hadašhim structures in the region. After half-a-century destruction and much longer frequent raids from both the south and the west, the Lifili established themselves once more as a dominant ethnicity. This wasn't without changes however. The two southern islands chains became dominated by the boatsmen, while several noble families were either of Westerner origin or Hadašhim remainers. From Tantorel to Kutaba, the entire seaboard was ruled by speakers of the language who shared a more or less common cultural sphere. Panidutne has also received a significant Lifili element. The initial displacement turned around, it was now the Lifilis round to fill up the empty fields.
