	Most Bara-Me-Naru adhere to a form of [[animism]] in which spirits of the wind and rain are given particular deference, communed with by their spirit-speakers, who are also the leaders of their communities. The spirits of typhoons are the greatest of these, and force of their wills often causes the spirit-speakers often fall into trance-like states as the storms approach their islands. Typhoons are considered to be accumulated knowledge of all wind and rain spirits in a wide area, ~~all~~ collected into a singularly powerful form that, if communicated with properly, is capable of imparting just as much wisdom as destruction.

The '''Bara-Me-Naru''' {{Pronunciation|BAH-rah-may-NAH-roo}} are a [[Fanakara|Fanakaran]] people who live dispersed across the [[Wounds]]. Most of the Bara-Me-Naru, who are overwhelmingly [[tengu]], can be found in the [[Salt Spring Archipelago]] or the [[Chain]], but other settlements exist as far away as [[Ha-Rase-Metu]].

== Demographics ==
Tengu account for nearly all of the Bara-Me-Naru. Considerably fewer in number are the [[human|humans]] and [[gnomes]] within their communities. The ancestors of these tengu arrived from the [[Meklaw|west]] many centuries ago, long before the [[Andan Cuyucha|more recent arrival]] of other tengu in the [[Soul's End Islands]].

=== Religion ===
Most Bara-Me-Naru adhere to a form of [[animism]] in which spirits of the wind and rain are given particular deference, communed with by their spirit-speakers, who are also the leaders of their communities. The spirits of typhoons are the greatest of these, and force of their wills often causes the spirit-speakers often fall into trance-like states as the storms approach their islands. Typhoons are considered to be accumulated knowledge of all wind and rain spirits in a wide area, all collected into a singularly powerful form that, if communicated with properly, is capable of imparting just as much wisdom as destruction.

Worship of the [[Beating Heart]] is also found in some of their farther-flung villages in Ha-Rase-Metu.

=== Language ===
Nearly all Bara-Me-Naru are fluent in both [[Sea-Speak]] and their own Fanakaran dialect.

=== Architecture, urbanization, and migration ===
Despite their wide geographical distribution, the Bara-Me-Naru are not nomadic. They instead live in villages of two to three hundred individuals, and rarely more. When a community grows too large a significant contingent ritually builds a fleet of sailing canoes and sets off into the ocean to find a new home far away. They still maintain close contact with each other, however, largely by way of [[Keleta-Ru]] traders.

The buildings within Bara-Me-Naru villages are almost always arranged in the shape of an S, curved around two bonfires that are kept burning almost continually.

== Government ==
Bara-Me-Naru communities are led by their spirit-speakers, who together consult the entities surrounding them for advice on how to lead those who look up to them. The role of spirit-speaker is not precisely hereditary, but the Bara-Me-Naru's strong tendency to teach their skills to their children, and not to others, often leads to this being the case in practice.
