The Yamatai are one of the races in Conan Exiles. It is not a race at character creation and is referred to in the Seekers of the Dawn Pack DLC.
Description[]
The Yamatan is a non-playable race on Conan Exiles. Originated from the far eastern land of Yamatai, these fair-skinned and slender race of humans resemble the people of feudal Japan. Political and cultural beliefs of the Yamatans are very similar to those found in the Edo period of Japan, where an Emperor or an Empress governs the country with the aid and advisement of Generals or Shoguns - political leaders and military warlords who are given absolute authority and power to decide the laws of the land. The warriors of Yamatai resemble the Samurais of feudal Japan. They form the frontline of the Yamatan army and are usually called to be enforcers, peacekeepers, and diplomats, bound to a lifetime of servitude to their Generals. Yamatai is an isolated country that prefers to distance itself from other civilizations. With an abundance of natural resources such as gold, silver, rare metals, seafood and vegetation, the country has been able to thrive for generations without any foreign trade.

Terrain
Yamatai is mostly made up of grasslands, jungles and snowy mountains. Cities are mostly found near rivers with mountains providing a scenic backdrop, while smaller settlements such as towns and villages are found on rocky grasslands, close to the sea. Temples and other religious structures are usually built on hilltops or in the jungle.
Climate
The climate of Yamatai vary from season to season. Spring usually comes during mid-year and lasts for three months, followed by Summer, Autumn and Winter at the end of the year until the second month of the following year.
Language
Almost all Yamatans speak Yamatai - an ancestral language similar to the traditional Japanese language, with a small tribe of Yamatans speak the shamanic language of the Tengu - ancient beings who are descendants of the Phoenix, known for their magical abilities.
Religion
The Yamatans worship the Golden Phoenix - a giant celestial creature believed to have descended from the heavens and made Yamatai its permanent home from the dawn of time, causing the lands to flourish and made habitable for humans.
