From: Epic of Aerth Addenda, by Gregg Timm.
Hawai‘i (pg. 104)
These volcanic islands to the west of Vargaard and north of Lemuria have a population of around 200,000 living in a tribal society ruled by a kingship (Kamehameha VI). The priestly caste of medicine men is known as kahunas, and they are strong wielders of mana (heka). The other strata of society are: ali‘i (the nobility), maka‘ainana (the commoners) and kauwa (the outcasts). The islanders subsist mainly upon fish, molluscs, crustaceans, coconuts, bananas, pineapple, taro, and kava. There are rumors of a race of tall wild men known as Nawao dwelling in the more remote areas of the islands that are hostile to outsiders. The most massive volcanoes of exterior Ærth, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, are found on the largest isle of this chain.
Several Lemurian states would undoubtedly like to absorb this kingdom into their own (such as Tonuia and Muavinapu), but distance and politics upon the mainland prevent them from devoting any real effort. These folk have a small naval force based upon a type of catamaran.
