Society
The Chalatec are a deeply religious and spiritual people found throughout the various regions of the Everlands. They are a confederacy of multiple seminomadic tribes ruled by their priests and shamans. The seat of power among the Chalatec comes from the city of Chalan, a commercial and pilgrimage center for the Chalatec as a people. Chalan does not hold its dominance over the other tribes via military force but rather through shared religious, cultural, and political values. Other city-states scattered throughout the regions of the Everlands make for more permanent residence.
Religion
The Chalatec have a numerosity of gods all with their own roles and domains in the natural and civilized world. The patron god of Chalan though is Saurathrax, the feathered serpent god of wind and wisdom who is said to have created the Vanara and taught the methods of growing corn and chocolate to the Chalatec. Other important gods are Solathane the Sun Goddess, Stratopteryx the god of war and sacrifice, Obcidelot the god of the night and chaos, and Dermiflay the god of agriculture and diseases.
Magic
The priests and shamans of the Chalatec specialize in drawing power from the elemental winds of Wind, Glass, Light, and Fire. They channel this magic into bending the environs around them to their will altering the land around them to their will or unleashing natural disaster upon their foes. The Chalatec can also bond with monsters forming a powerful magical and mental connection with a monster. Bonded monsters are not pets or property but more akin to best friends or trust companions, but the relationship is something quite different from that. Bonder's and their monster have a subconscious connection and can feel each others emotions and mental states though not hear each other's thoughts.
Military
Chalatec's military is primarily composed of peasant levies drawn from the farmers and laborers of the tribes. More professional and elite soldiers trained in Chalan itself also join their numbers as well, along with tamed dinosaurs and levies from the other races that make up the Chalatec with the Vanara. Chalatec warriors wear little in terms of armor but wield powerful obsidian weapons that have magically hardened to render less brittle.
