On the map of the plain, there's a city named "Funky" in the savannah to the
west of the plain. It's right in the middle of nowhere, I mean, there isn't any
country or anything marked as the region where any people live near it. So what
is it? Wasn't "Funky" a seventies expression for cool? So is that the place to
go for funky people on Almea? Or is it Baudrillard's "funky town"?
<p>Also, what's the Religion of the Kebreni? They are not of Cadhinorian descent,
so I don't think they believe in Cadhinorian paganism, and judging by their
later history, they probably don't like Eledhe to much, either, so what are
they?

<p>Heh, it's one of the remaining jokes on the map. There used to be more... unfortunately, there wasn't room on <a href="../../eretald2.gif">the Eretald map</a> to show the Forest of Kubushagakobodakhainokiveltochmersuchushichushibugiitilyupyükh (it's the forest just south of Khümnag). Funky lies in the Western Wild, which is unorganized rather
than uninhabited; it's a trading town, where men (and elcari) from the
mountains, the savannah, the jungle, and the Plain can all get together.
<p>As for the Kebreni, they have their own religion-- a worship of spirits
(<b>kem</b>, gods), generally associated with mountains or lakes, and
of ancestors. (The name of Lake Como is cognate to <b>kem</b>.)
It's rather a low-key religion, a matter of private prayers and
sacrifices; educated Kebreni prefer to talk about <b>kemu</b> 'the divine',
which originated as a collective term for all the gods together.
You could compare their religion to Shinto.
<p>There are some believers in Eledhát on Kebri; also some Irreanists.
They never went for the Cadhinorian gods, however.
