Banmi Culture

The Banmi Culture was a Post-Collapse human agricultural society in south-western Mila.

Art
Banmi art consisted of elaborate pottery vessels and idols, stone sculpture and rock paintings.

Dress
Banmi clothing consisted of robes, dresses and kilts, often decoratively coloured.

Language
The Banmi spoke the Banmi Language.

Naming Conventions
Banmi names consisted of a patronymic surname and a given name.

Religion
By 1000 3E, the Banmi did not worship any deities, instead worshiping the Old Spirits, who appeared as local animals. Notably, tiger, zebu and elephant spirits dominated their religion. By 1500 3E, the worship of the Andarman deity, Arahas, god of animals, spread to the Banmi.

Society
Banmi society was broken into a number of clans, each ruled by a chieftain. Men were considered superior to women, although female chiefs did arise.

Technology
The Banmi had access to a variety of stone tools and pottery techniques. They were also adept fishermen. By 3000 3E, they had begun smelting copper.

Agriculture
The Banmi had domesticated the chicken as well as mango, eggplant and rice. But by far their main source of food was the zebu, which they herded across southern Mila. By 2500 3E, they had imported the cultivation of peas, dates and sesame and the herding of cattle from the Andarma.
