The Ormani Decemvirate may be the political and cultural force of the Atlanteans, but the Amaris Decemvirate is the economic force behind the Atlanteans. There is not a single sea or land that is adjacent to a river, sea, or ocean that has not seen the presence of the Amaris Trade ships. Historically, the Amaris Decemvirate was settled during the second great migration of Atlanteans from the surroundings of Atlantis. Unlike the Tritonians, the Amaris settled in the waters of the Southern Atlantic just long enough to create ships of exploration. It was Amaris vessels and Atlanteans that mapped the far waters of the seas of Aether. The Amaris were not content to merely rest upon the knowledge of their discoveries but had the foresight to realize the inherent benefit to the Amaris if they returned with Ships of Trade. Within a few generations, the Amaris Trade Fleet was the largest upon the waves and even to this day, they traffic all sorts of wares from one corner of Aether to the other. An Amaris Trade Vessel is the largest ship upon the seas and are known to all. In addition, the Amaris use the collected bounty of their trading and act as money-lenders for both Atlanteans and other races. Amaris ability in this arena is renown.

Geographically, the Amaris Decemvirate is larger than the Ormani Decemvirate, but it is far less populated than its older cousin. The Amaris population seems to be collected in a few large cities that act as central locations for their Trade Ships. The Amaris are very similar in outlook with their northern neighbors but seem to be a little open to outside society due to their interactions with those above the waves. Lately, the Amaris seem to be a bit more progressive...they have made several assertive proclamations in regards to the most recent war between the Empyerean and Varati people. In addition, there seems to be a greater tendency for those of the Amaris Decemvirate to stray from the worship of Pasiphae and embrace the newer worship of the Sea...something that seems to be increasing in recent years.
