Newed Culture

The Newed Culture was a Post-Collapse human, halfling and gnome agricultural culture in Ancient Era Aman, Kurtum and Dahya. It is famous for producing a number of cities, including Alash, Terun, Jhal, Ubaha and Damek.

Culture
Early Newed society was very egalitarian. Later Newed society however became stratified by class and gender divisions, moving the society from one ruled by councils of elders and priests to one ruled by strongman chieftains, who later became kings.

Religion
The Newed worshiped a large pantheon of deities, including the following:
 * Anur, the sky father
 * Ka, the earth mother and goddess of fertility
 * Sarpa, the son of Anur and Ka and the first king on Mervona
 * Wasek, the father of the gnomes and halflings and god of healing and agriculture
 * Mitca, queen of the underworld
 * Utush, god of the sun
 * Badra, god of the sea

Technology
The Newed Culture was highly advanced for its day. By about 1000 3E the Newed had discarded stone tools in favour of copper ones. They had a very complex pottery tradition, had erected cities along river banks and had also begun sailing. They even had dabbled in the crafting of jewels.

Agriculture
Agriculture was the backbone of the Newed Culture. By 1000 3E they had domesticated cattle, sheep, goats and bees as livestock and barley, wheat, dates and apples.
