Arare Culture

The Arare Culture was a dwarven Post-Collapse culture that lived in and around the North-Eastern stretches of the Yama Mountains. Masters of stonework, the Arare built massive stone structures in the tunnels beneath the Yama Mountains, most of which date from the Aberrant Era, thus predating the culture.

Religion
The Arare worshiped the following pantheon of deities:
 * Kodwe, king of the gods and master of father to all dwarves. He also created the kodumos.
 * Ara, the wife of Kodwe and goddess of the sky. She birthed Ngumo, the first dwarf.
 * Labo the chameleon, who is messenger of Kodwe.
 * Osemba, god of masonry

Technology
Arare stone tools are some of the most advanced tools of its day, most of which were used in the construction of Arare cities, including Mbula and Vanwa. Arare musical instruments, consisting of drums, bone flutes and marimbas, were also exquisite.

Agriculture
By the end of the Collapse, the Arare were not agricultural. They did, however, have a thriving pastoralist society that relied on the herding of Kodumos, a species of giant pig native to the tunnels underneath the Yama Mountains. Surface-dwelling Arare had also domesticated the buffalo, and later the Arare domesticated the rhinoceros, which they used as mounts and beasts of burden.
