Manthi People
The Manthi are a diverse group of Jorothi-ethnic peoples found in southwestern Anásthiasplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigAnásthias
Anásthias [a-NAS-thee-ass / ænæsθiːæs], or [an-ass-THEE-as] is an equatorial island continent, heart of the Civilised World. The north straddles the equator and is hot and humid, while most of the equatorial centre is an upland plateau with fertile river valleys, and stretches of arid plains and desert in the shadow of the mountains. The south is temperate but more wild, separated from the civilisations of the north by the almost impassable Harthera, particularly southwestern Ororr, Veedormim and the Manthi-Lien.

The concepts of race and ethnicity in the Civilised World are complex, related to issues of history, geography and culture. Some theories of the origins of humanity claim that all humans are descended from a single group of original ancestors, while others believe mankind is made up of distinct races with separate origins.

History
The early Manthi migrated south along the coast of Anásthias from the Jorothi homelands in what is now northwestern Ororrplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigOrorr

Munatan [Moo-Nah-Tahn] is the southernmost region of Anásthias, south of the Dun Trisan mountains. The name possibly derives from a ancient Thalsic, meaning “Land of One Sun”, since the daystar is not visible in the southern hemisphere. Or it may be a reference to the Manthi people who were once the majority population of western Munatan.

Culture
Traditionally there were many hundreds of Manthi clans, each with an animal totem as their symbol. For a migrant people, keeping animals was historically crucial, and so early Manthi culture relied very much on worshipping the symbiosis between animals and life. As new clans were created, many took mythical or imaginary animals as their totem, and today even many virid animals are represented, particularly hunting creatures. Manthi are unusual in having almost no virid taboo, the necessity of their nomadic lifestyle forcing them to embrace the use of virid foods and animals wherever it was possible.
