The Tunani are the direct descendants of those who remained loyal to the old Rhaelite despite the fall of Rhael'Korotana five hundred years ago. Anarchy and rebel occupation followed the fall, which did little to ease the tensions between loyalist and rebel parties. Years of sporadic infighting frustrated rebel citizenry to the point of driving them east to what is now Denwatch, residing in the small settlement until Bronze Pillar was excavated and made suitable for habitation. Further fueled by the Akani declaring independence a century after the fall, emigration in the Folly (as it was so named by the occupying rebels upon seizure) dramatically emptied much of the once-swarming city. As a result, most Tunani citizens reside in dwellings much larger than that of their Iirozian cousins. Natural resources remain abundant thanks to decreased demand, resulting in cheap basic goods and a disproportionate amount of secondary-schooled commoners. As such, the Folly is famous for its philosophers, writers, and artists (acknowledged even by the Iirozian nobility who keep galleries displaying the "profane" exhibits of classic Tuanani tapestries).
