Upon arriving in Ayotaya, the explorers of the Rune-Midgar were fascinated with the tribal people living in Ayotaya and their peaceful way of life. Cherishers of nature, the Ayotayans lived in beautiful houses built on the water that was often filled with fishing boats selling their wares and exotic foods. The people of Ayotaya were also devoutly religious and worshipped at a magnificent shrine they had built out of Gold and Emerald.
