Is there some more info on the Salished Empire that we could use & reference when creating our own faction cultures?

As Peppermints has said, I am making my application at the moment, which will likely help as a reference. In general, however, I can say that because of their location in the Rainlands, the Salisheds have a lot in common with the civilizations that developed in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East. As such, I am taking cultural cues from ancient civilizations that lived in or near the fertile crescent; Babylonia, Sumeria, and Persia are all civilizations I am borrowing from.
