Amade was a tropical empire located between 13°N and 17°N, centered west of Tarise, at around 20°W. Its people were often politically hostile to Tarise.
Language
The language branched off from Tarise shortly after 1085 AD. It may have participated in the shift of /p t b d/ > /h s g z/ that marks out Tarise from all the other Macro-Gold languages, but it is more likely that Amade only did /p t/ > /f s/ and that the /t/>/s/ was conditional. From this point on, Amade became a very conservative language and by 1900 AD the parent language was still readable.
Culture
There were four tribal groups in Amade:
- Kxesh people, the dark-skinned aboriginals native to the area.
- Star people, the dark-skinned aboriginals who inhabited the lands to the east, had a small foothold in eastern Amade.
- Lenians, the light skinned, and typically blonde settlers who had built colonies in Paba, Thaoa, and other places along the tropical south coast. Also known as Mumba.
- Lĕba, a tribe of very tall, dark-skinned seagoing people who had settled in various other places along the tropical south coast. Despite their very different appearance, they were culturally related to the Lenians.
