Alright, let's see..
I dunno if any of this is extensive enough in and of itself to be it's own added section within the lore, but to at least clarify~
As of now, I know that Sajek is an official Ambassador from Verbali. As far as Baz'neh is concerned, her efforts were all for not, and completely unofficial. Currently, Kavdam is serving as an embassy for Verbali, and many other embassies are open throughout Altera's continents, as a product of the project spear headed by the single-eyed grump himself. These embassies serve to allow "lost" nakam a way back home, or at least a home within their current lands where they will be around their own kind. However, due to the massive requirement of governmental figures within Verbali (and the massive paycheck that comes with a governing job), qualified governing Nakam rarely come to light outside of Verbali or Kavdek, and rarely come to power outside the island within a differently cultured area.
I should've worded it more that the word "pet" doesn't exist at all. The idea of owning a living thing and consciously having it below you is unknown to the Nakam. If one is to have a wolf follow them about, they will allow it to do so at it's own leasure, never using a leash or chain to keep the creature close by, allowing it complete freedom, as they would any other friend they should come across.
Just as they see all people in the same light, they treat all living things much the same way. They aknowledge that even the "cultured" and "civilized" of the world are only animals with too much pride.
Any oxen used for transportation are usually treated with respect and cared for well for their efforts, just as any wolf or pack of wolves are paid well for their protection.
Essentially, Nakam (natives, specifically) see no distinction between people and animals.
Magic is never outwardly brought about as hated. People just don't go walking down the street grumbling things about warlocks and such.
But, since I'm assuming you at least need a bit of training before you can execute even the smallest of magical abilities, many Nakam simply go about their lives believing that magic is a simple fairytale.
Otherwise, since it is engrained that magic is essentially against the natural order of things, they will look on magic with a very ominous and hateful viewpoint. Many who see that they can use magic often suffer self-esteem issues.
magic is not, and can not ever be seen as a good thing to these people by default.
EVER.
it is EXTREMELY difficult to convince them otherwise, and you may just get your face scratched off if you push the issue too far.
Those who are "talented" in magic, in that it's simply something that happens at random and they cannot control, will often go to great lengths to hide their secret. Though, if the problem becomes too overpowering, many are known to traverse the island's frozen forests, alone, seeking enlightenment and redemption for their curse.
Many end up in the southern peak, as the stories of the ominous village within the unnatural cave speak of knowledge handed down directly from the Naklefam.
..Alright, on second thought, I'll put all this in the original postings too.
Long story short: Nakam like to govern their own places and get paid boatloads, People are only prideful animals, and magic is bad. Again.
