History

Prehistory/Antiquity

Members of the Harakoan species first migrated to the swamps and wetlands of Northwestern Owyhyee over two millennia before the arrival of the Jedi. Though extremely little is known about the civilizations present at the time, Jedi archaeologists have uncovered ancient pottery shards and discovered the remnants of raised fields, suggesting the Harakoans of antiquity were not all that different from the modern peoples who populate the region. Due to the lack of diversity in culture (since the Harakoans of the region all descend from the same forest tribe of Owyhyee) there is little evidence to support large-scale wars and conflict until much later in the region's history.

Last Centuries

Due to the diversification of the locals over the last several hundred years, war has become endemic among the swamps and bogs of the area. Most tribes remain isolated hunter gatherers, but larger communities have sprung up with an increase in the amount of agricultural activity, particularly the farming of immense catfish and legumes. The largest settlement of the region, known as Zawag Tākohu, developed during this time and experienced a number of major wars with rival cities in the area.

Struggles for power were common amongst the growing cities and it was not uncommon for entire settlements to be wiped out and slowly swallowed by the swamp, posing great problems for the Jedi and Tythonian archaeologists seeking to study the area. In fact, of the major cities which grew during this period only Zawag Tākohu remains.

After arrival of Jedi

Due to the warlike nature of the Zawi people one of the most influential Jedi on New Tython was assigned to them as their Jedi Representative. Ji arrived shortly before the invasion of the Dark Jedi during the Tenth Great Jedi War (though he returned to Menat Ombo to wage the conflict beside Mike Halcyon). At war's end he returned to Zawag Tākohu to lead the tribe's warriors and coordinate with both il-Zaw the Black, Warchief Whenua and Quejo Drakai Xyler in finishing the liberation of both the planet from the Dark Jedi who remained behind, and indeed the entire Harakoan populace from colonial oppression.

Territory

The territory of Iwu Zawag is fairly large, as the tribe itself boasts a high population by Harakoan standards. Several small, outlying communities are dominated by the central city of Zawag Tākohu whose population is well over 5,000. Small war parties can typically be found roaming throughout the ~12,000 square kilometers of swamp and marshland the tribe controls, ensuring that all the local villages stay in line and pay tribute to Zawi in the form of food and workmen.

Geography

The territory controlled by Iwu Zawag is primarily swamp and wetlands with very little solid ground. Several major rivers which the natives use as highways run through it and out toward the northern oceans. What land there is is typically covered by thick forest and shrubbery. The rivers and marshlands are often extremely deep and shallows are rare. An estimated average depth could be anywhere from 10 to 20 meters, with many parts exceeding 30 meters in depth.

Climate

The climate of this northern region is uncommonly warm despite being in the planet's northern hemisphere, due in large part to the great deal of geological activity taking place beneath the surface. Geysers and hot springs dotting the swamplands are fairly common and the rare methane burp is not unheard of. As a result temperatures during the winter rarely get below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and during the Summer they may top 110 degrees, with extremely high humidity levels.

Precipitation in the form of vast storms is the standard. Sunshine is a rarity as hurricanes commonly blow in (along with warm air) from the western ocean.

Biome

The flora and fauna of the wetlands inhabited by Iwu Zawag are particularly hostile, even by New Tython's standard. There are several dozen varieties of carnivorous planets, some of which are large enough to devour small lizards and birds and, though none can physically consume a Harakoan (or most sentient creatures), they are all extremely toxic. Other plants include wispy, tall trees with a rubber-like wood, likely evolved to withstand the often violent winds of the hurricanes. Vines and creepers are also not uncommon and can grow at such a rate that the locals must actively chop them back to keep their villages from being overrun.

Most landbased animals are small to medium sized herbivores, including several species of Cervidae and Equine species. The most predominant prey animal in the area (other than fish), however, is a water-based hoglike species. Fish species include monstrous catfish up to two meters long, and an assortment of smaller icthyoids. Carnivorous fish are plentiful and, though most only consume other fish, there are several species notorious for maiming and even killing Harakoans. The largest predators in the area are exclusively water-based super-predators (both icthyoid and reptilian) topping 10 meters in length.
