The Ajak are one of Osma's predominant ethnic groups. They make their home in the northern part of the nation, with their capital in the city of Orkele. The Ajak do not believe that their chief god was the parent of the other deities but their leader, with the local name for their religion being the Faith of the Chief.
Due to their belief that this chief deity earned his title by distinguishing himself from his peers, the Ajak place incredible importance on hard work and merit, with many describing Osma's north as a strict meritocracy. While this emphasis on merit has been praised the world over for centuries, the Ajak were not without their detractors, especially before Osma's democratization, where it still had hereditary leaders. Throughout the region's history, there have been countless stories of interpersonal relationships being strained or irreparably damaged by someone's desire to prove themselves worthy of a higher office or greater prestige.
The Ajak claim that the Roma of Oslein are descendants of a group of Ajak that fled during the Grand Coronation, disgruntled by infighting among Ajak generals who wanted to stand above the rest as the tribe's leaders at the end of the conflict, come what may. This story is also the official position of the Osman government as a whole.
