Important Note / Disclaimer:
The world of Centerra, as presented in this setting, explores the concept of the Force. Within Centerra, the various races and micro cultures/religions use terms like interconnections and celestial energies to refer to the Force. These terms are interchangeable with 'The Force,' and their usage is intended to align with the cultural beliefs and identity of each group. It is important to understand that in Centerra, the Force is often perceived as magical or mystical, similar in thematic nature to the culture and region of the Ewoks. The terms employed in this context serve as a representation of the cultural portrayal and belief in the Force within Centerra.
The world of Centerra, within this setting, is deeply influenced by the Force, and Force anomalies occur frequently. These anomalies are manifestations of the planet's strong connection to 'cosmic energies' or Force Energies. The Stellar Convergence shapes the cultures and beliefs of Centerra, as it highlights the delicate balance between the Force and mortal existence. Please note that the portrayal of these Force-related anomalies is for imaginative purposes within this fictional world.
"The Great Spirit" is just their perception of what drives the Force IE: Force ghosts or Force anomalies. Force sensitives are and Force users are like holy men or shaman and oracles in their group.

They are skilled boat builders, constructing sturdy vessels using locally sourced materials such as wood and reeds. Their boats are specially designed to navigate the winding rivers, traverse the swampy terrain, and sail the open seas, enabling them to travel and trade across various waterways.
In addition to boats, the Laminorians are adept at building tree houses that are ingeniously integrated into their lush and vibrant environment. These tree houses serve as their dwellings, providing them with a safe haven amidst the swamps and forests. The Laminorians' close connection to nature is evident in their harmonious coexistence with the surrounding trees and plants.
As expert fishermen, the Laminorians rely heavily on their knowledge of the waterways and the art of fishing. They have perfected the techniques of netting, angling, and trapping, allowing them to sustain their communities through abundant seafood harvests. The Laminorians' prowess in fishing has earned them a reputation as skilled providers and traders of fresh seafood, which serves as a significant source of their economy.
The Laminorians have developed a unique currency system based on pearls, which are highly valued in their society. Pearls, obtained through skilled diving and harvesting techniques, are used as a medium of exchange for trade and commerce. The Laminorians' expertise in pearl diving and their possession of valuable pearl reserves have further enhanced their economic stability and reputation as proficient traders.
