Niar people

The Niar people are an ancient civilization originating in northern Minrales. Around the 4th or 5th cycle they are believed to have sailed north, discovering and subsequently colonizing Temerameare, being the first humans to do so. They established the first nation-state on Temerameare, now referred to as the Old Empire. The empire lasted for over 1000 years, until its eventual dissolution following the Old War.
