Author's Notes
Yelthari
A people squished between powers stronger than them. Plenty of inspiration for that in history...
They fight using guerilla tactics, hit and fade attacks, because that's the only way they can resist.
Their religion is heavily inspired by voodoo (or, if you prefer that spelling, vodou). The main reason is that voodoo is well suited for fantasy settings, but also because it grew out of resistance. It's dark feeling also fits well with their battle tactics.
