Katapu

The Katapu (WIS: ggaddabbu [kaːt̻əpɯ]) are a Wistanian people group that inhabit a large swatch of the northern island and the north east shores of Wistania.

History
They just exist.

Culture
Although the entire region is religious, the Katapu are often stereotyped to be the most religious in the way the dress and behave, being the more peaceful and hospitable people group. For them, modesty and cleanliness are the most paramount qualities. They demonstrate this by their dress (ponchos, scarves, dresses, cloaks, and trousers that cover everything except for their hands, feet, and head) and their homes and public areas (which are deep-cleaned every day before nightfall).

They have several trade and diplomatic agreements with the Uzin, and have therefore traded several cultural and linguistic similarities.

Education is extremely valuable to the Katapu, and all children are mandated to be educated until they are fifteen. This education usually happens within the ggailvaal temples, although education in public squares and at home are not uncommon either. Children are encouraged to learn a trade - usually some type of farming - and to make their own wages once they have left school. Secondary education is also an option that many men and women chose. This is again offered primarily in the temples (which really double as both places of worship and places of schooling).

They are primarily vegetarian, but on the rare occasion that they eat meat, it must be meat from a male animal, and eggs are a forbidden food. This is because the female womb is understood to be the most sacred part of a creature’s body, and females are therefore venerated in Katapu culture.
