Re: Inyauk Culture
Let's go with complete genocide. The Inyauk considered the killings as a sort of human sacrifice. Maybe they fucked a couple of them and had kids but that's about it. Also, they don't keep slaves. The possession of people is strictly taboo (More so than killing all of them XD). Since slavery was out of the question, genocide seemed the best option. I'm sure some escaped into the mountains but not in any significant number.
Foreigners have been and still are considered inferior by the Inyauk, so they don't want their inferior cities. They want to burn them and build their own. That way the pay tribute to the gods of destruction, by destroying the cities and people, and the gods of creation, by building over them and making new cities.
As for evilness, you're going to have to make your own assessment. But the Inyauk do not considered their actions evil.
Yeah, it's not very historically accurate but whatever. :P

Re: Inyauk Culture
It seems a bit caricaturized, but, hey, yeah, it doesn't need to be 100% accurate (I mean my WWI-style trench warfare with crossbows and Chinese rockets isn't the epitome of historical realism, either). Pretty twisted, either way. :-s
However, it does vaguely remind me of the Aztecs, when they swooped down into Mexico. At first they were a petty mercenary horde, but afterwards they took revenge on their masters and then became a blood-making machine who pissed off everyone else in Mexico, because they also wanted to give human sacrifices to their gods (which is one of the reasons why they actually fell - some of the people pissed off with them allied with the Spaniards and gave them most of the troops needed to take on the Aztecs). Oh well.

Re: Inyauk Culture
I like them colors.
BY the way, how'd you make these? I mean I got GIMP and Photoshop, but I'm too lazy to actually work on these things electonically; doing them by hand is more convenient for me, at least for now.

I found a tutorial off of the Cartographer's Guild forums.
