Jagatai

The Jagatai are a race of humans from the steppe lands on the western coasts of the continent of Sirakos. They built the first human city in history: Ilkhanazi, which still stands today as the capital of the Jagatai Trade Khaganate.

Biology
Jagatai are genetically similar to other human races. They possess a very light-brown skin tone, and black hair. Their eyes are typically brown or hazel in color.

Culture
Most Jagatai live within the realms of the Jagatai Trade Khaganate. Typically when living outside their core lands, they are high-ranking employees of the local Tradekhan, overseeing the native workers or documenting port shipments. When they live outside the Khaganate, they will typically find employment as independent traders, or dock workers.

Jagatai culture emphasizes wealth as a symbol of authority. For the Jagatai, to flaunt wealth is to display authority.

Jagatai live on expansive estate compounds with their entire extended families. Children are raised on these compounds by communal effort of the family. Those families living within the Khaganate will turn their children over at the age of thirteen to the local Tradekhan, who will assess the child's abilities and assign them an occupation. Those families who do not live under the Khaganate will still typically construct these estates where they settle.
