Well, Malakas is sort of like the Roman Empire in that it holds many cultures and peoples, some related, others not. The royal family hails from the ancient Bangon culture, which is Avari. However, they have a custom of marrying someone from a different Malakasi region each generation, so that the royal family represents everyone. It is customary that the eldest child chooses mortality, so that he or she may become king or queen, until the process repeats. The other childred remain immortal, and marry into the Avari community (or, if they also want to be mortal, they marry into the much larger Human community). The founders of Malakas were two firstborn Avari who were distrustful of Oromo and did not go to Valinor, and instead waited for Humankind to awaken, who they then civilized and established as a mighty power.
