Amata

The Amata are one of the primary ethnic groups of Okrit. They share close cultural and linguistic ties to the Ofot, whom they directly originate from prior to the founding of the Okso Kingdom. The Amata are the primary ethnicity of the Tiger Warriors. They reside primarily in the provinces of Akoni, Adai Omok and the River Provinces

History

The Ofot and Amata share common origin in the ancestral Ofot people of the Ukubian era. The cultural split most likely originated under the fragmentation of the Ukubian empire, whereby the the people who would become the Amata were those whom lived on the proximity of the remainder Ukubian state/s and thus assimilated and intermingled with the ancestral peoples of the highlands. Those who remained under post-Ukubian jurisdiction would become the modern Ofot. It is likely that the Amata were one of the highland peoples whom were effected by the conquest of the peripheral highlands that would lead to the kingdom of Okso, and migrated west in reaction to the conflict. It is likely that the tribal authorities leading this migration would be the peoples later dubbed the Tiger warriors.
