Minnez

The Minnez are an Indigenous people of Goiky. Unrelated to other ethnic groups in Goiky, they are descended from an Indigenous people from Objectlandia who came to Goiky around 1500~ BO.

Culture
The Minnez traditionally follow a religion called Pinnencez (lit. teachings). The Pinnencez religion has 30 gods, each aligned to a concept and having a good and bad manifestion. Pinnencez tales are traditionally oral, but with the introduction of writing, the tales have a widespread (and unfortunately, mistold) use.

In Pinnencez, there are several things considered sins, some depending on which god you worship. However, all followers of Pinnencez are forbidden to cover their chest. This is because the chest represents life-force and protection in the culture. Without the life-force being visible, it is believed that a Minn with their chest covered will eventually die due to bad luck. In modern times, this has resulted in discriminatory laws against Minnez.
