I get'cha. My nation is meant to be more than just "fite," but fite is an important part of the culture. There's a reason for that, and it basically comes down to "The nations I'm playing in my other NRPs are very peaceful and I wanted a change of pace." (RIP Preservers, you will be missed.)

I mean, I guess think of how Vikings were way more than just fite. They were famous for their trade and they also loved to set up colonies all over the world. That's what I'm going for with Zaqir, but with a more "Berber Pirates" feel. That's all. People will remember them as raiders because that's what will stand out the most about any culture that raids the coasts of the known world.
