Caribbean
Many magical peoples of the Circum-Caribbean make social status distinctions between magical people who live in the urban/industrialized world and those who live the more rural life of uncontacted peoples, usually preferring to interact with the latter. The latter are simply referred to by the name of their tribe, culture, family, or community while the former are usually called “urbs” (urbanites). Magical people are referred to as brus (brews) as a neutral slang for brujos/as and bruxos/as--similar to wix instead of wizard/witch.
While rural magical communities live thriving sedentary, semi-nomadic, and nomadic lives, in a variety of remote and inaccessible environments, they still have many anxieties related to being displaced from land due to land privatization, due to ecological (man-made) disasters, and due to being “stolen people on stolen land.” As a result, these people have a rich history of rising up against oppressors and the peoples of the Circum-Caribbean have many ancestors whose anti-colonial efforts maligned them as notorious pirates whose legacies were often lost or minimized because of the cultural erasure of colonialism.
Instead of wands, many Caribbean people prefer dance magic, ritual magic, or magical multi-tools that can be collaboratively made alongside goblins or dwarves.
