Malys (culture)

The Malys are a tribal peoples dwelling in the Plains of Tekara. Less migratory than the Tak-Mi-Lah, they have small villages and have begun domestication of some livestock species. Where they are closer to the Torcastan Sea, they include fishing and some aquaculture. They engage in modest trade amongst themselves, and with their neighbours Aralia, Tabras and the Tak-Mi-Lah who share the Western portion of the prairie region.
