Tribal Lands

The Dry Sea has since time immemorial divided its people. With the extreme heat, the harsh landscape, and the vicious monsters at every turn, its difficult to travel more than a few miles easily. Such conditions have made it so that dozens of semi-unique tribes have spawned.

Against all odds two relativity large tribe have formed settlements large enough to be called Cities and command armies enough to bring war to each other, across even the harsh Dry Sea. They reside at opposite ends, and existing on the edges of the Sea means they are not only the largest, but the most well known among the other nations. (Indeed the average commoner think of them as the ONLY tribes).

The Scorpion Tribe: They are known for their highly aggressive nature, and their willingness to join forces with the monstrous denizens of the Dry Sea. Conversely those tribes they do conquer and assimilate are treated as one of their own, and often times benefit from their new allegiance... if they cooperate.

Common Warriors of the Scorpion are outfitted in a loose form of hide armor that does not overheat them like metal would. They carry short bows and scimitars. Each man carries five poison tipped arrows among its regulars, and a poison edged dagger, all in honor of their namesake.

Scorpion Monks are known for their deadly use of the Shuriken, and can be recognized by the tribal tattoos printed over their mostly nude bodies.

Cobra Tribe: Often played as the 'good-guys' because of their refusal to join with the monstrous elements like their enemies, they are in fact very distrustful of outsiders. For commerce purposes outsiders are allowed in their main city of Azhar, but not a small number have known to go missing once inside. Their wars with the Scorpion tribe has never been began by their actions but more often than not they come out on top.

A common Cobra warrior dresses in a similar hide armor to the Scorpion, though in a different style, and also wields a scimitar. Javelins and hide bucklers are added to the collection, and small poisonous throwing daggers are hidden on their person.

Cobra Shaman ride into war for more than healing purposes unlike the Scorpion's, and deal almost exclusively in the element of fire.
