Cámas [kɑːmɑs] is a nation in Savukk. It's to be found south-east on the Western Continent between Nokeo and Ambvaiira. Its name has derived form the founder, Ciros.
History
The country is not old, as it was founded by several tribes. The uniting started in -334 and was fulfilled -308. Ciros died out of sickness in -307. This is because of all the trading villages understood that they had to unite to continue fair and righteous trading between the current capital and hundreds of towns and settlements along the coast. Ciros was the leader of the Veranapon (The river tribe) and was the one who started uniting all of the other tribes. This tribe lived where the capital now is. This is also the origin of the capital's name: Cirósos = City of Cir (abbreviation of Ciros).
There has not been much revolts in the country except the series of revolts on Aséris Sehinis (Ealier: Nacoaósúmon; The Peninsula of the Sun), that happened in year -32. The people of the peninsula to the north-east had severe revolts lasting about a year, but the revolts kept getting worse and worse, and in the end hundreds were killed. The results were that the whole peninsula joined the Nation of Ambvaiira. The cause of these revolts was that Nacoaósúmon had an increasing amount of Ambvaiirian settlers, who wanted justice, as they were not treated as members of Cámas. Even today the tension between these to countries are high.
Except in the main cities, tribal villages are highly regular throughout the whole country. Mostly at the coast to the north because of fishing, but to the south, they live inside the dense forests as well as along the coast. The inland tribes depend on the fur and meat trade with the coast tribes. Salt is obviously the main trade resource for the coast tribes, and is valued high inland. After the meat has come to the southern coast, they only take a very small amount themselves, and once again trades it along with the people of Nokeo, as the vast swampy areas barely contain any edible mammals. In return, special berries and fruits who just grow on certain trees in these swamps are given back in trade. These two nations stick together, and many tribal villages in Cámas rely on Nokeo trading to make a living. The capital of this trading is the city of Nocésihos not too far form Nokeo.
The major chopping on the island Cáaósos was the result of the vast corruption. The forests are now on their way back to normal, even though chopping there is very strict regulated.
Religion
They are naturalists. The people of the villages are very affectionate to their nature. So much it evolved into religion. They believe nature around them reflects their personality and behaviour at all times, and they do therefore never chop more wood than necessary, for instance, and they make sure to not take too much at one spot. The same goes for animals: They do not take more fish than necessary. They believe that if the nature around their house is well shaped and beautiful when they die; they go to the eternal world. This world is said to be in the forests, and there are many "sagas" of where it is situated.
