Pemant

Pemant, Panman, or Banumant was a civilization of the Reign of Lamps centred around the Carsan archipelago, emerging from the Pagerians in approximately the 23rd century BCE and entering a terminal decline from the 9th century BCE. The Pemantians were paragons of the Reign of Lamps, establishing a wide sphere of influence across the Confluent Seas and an associated culture marked by the most sophisticated use of blinking code for communication and signification. Pemantian power culminated with the state of Isnaria that established by the 11th century BCE a cosmopolitan hegemon over the Confluent Seas, but a series of developments under this supremacy undermined lamp-blinking Carsan civilization, leading to unrest such as the Paraphernic Wars that catalyzed the downfall of the entire Reign of Lamps after the shock of the Isnarian Cataclysm. The immediate successor to the Pemantian cultural patrimony in Carsa was Tarsia.
