About those Caladralanders

I want to know more about the Caladralanders. Speculation/fanon is welcome, but please specify or else I might get confused.

I mean, I know the basics: They are Orlanthi (but not Heortlings nor Esrolians), but they worship Veskarthan/Caladra, an Orlanthi analogue of Lodril, where the high priest of said cult commands a great deal of religious and temporal power. They practise slash-and-burn horticulture (no plows?), and they live in a (sub-tropic to) tropical environment. They are known to have practised human sacrifice, possibly only to captured enemies, I dunno. Do they call themselves Caladralanders, or something like Veskarthings? Or do they have their own founding hero a la Heort or even something like Imarja?

I assume they have kings and clans and tribes like most other Orlanthi, but exactly what shape they take I don't know.

I also don't quite know what shape their demographics take, ie. whether it's evenly spread out in minor settlements, whether they have any towns/cities of note, whether cultic sites house a lot of people on a permanent basis, etc. 

Honestly, just a bit more about them would be cool. I like being able to sit down and imagine "if I were a member of [culture x] what would be my goals in life, my concerns, etc." and while I feel I can do that to a pretty good degree for Heortlings and Esrolians, it's less clear for the Caladralanders (aside from the obvious "work the land, have full belly, cherish kinfolk, get lots of kids".)
