Lorebook: Pahqruun

The Palruuni are a form of People relating relatively closely to the Original Folk. It is believed that the ancestors of they and the Pahmsruun set sail on the river that flows down from Mount Taurikip and followed it all the way down to the sea, colonizing the lands along the way as well as founding a capital in the New World. They and the Pahmsruun at some point formed into distinct groups, with mostly-friendly disputes continuing to today regarding which is older. They both were known for their diplomacy and positive relations with other cultures, but the Pahmsruun maintain a core shared identity and institutions and continue to tend to appear more similar to the Ruktruun while the Palruuni, alongside the similarly diverse Teakani, are arguably the most diverse form of People in Karamay, and their identities tend to be tied much more to their culture or historical homelands than to their being Palruuni. Some Palruuni even hold that their particular group's existence in Karamay predates the sailing from Mount Taurikip.
