History of Arcerion: Difference between revisions

The dominant Northern Tribe was Chaxhan, which was considered culturally Lowland. They occupied the river basins and Arcer Heartland, and were the main opposition to Heartland settlements as settlers moved up the Innis and Leigh Rivers. They were also the main belligerent fighting against Arcerion during the Second Bush War, and participated to a limited extent supporting the Kel-kon'e in the Third Bush War. The Chaxhan were largely nomadic, with few to no permanent settlements in the Heartland, instead roving bands numbering between 50-500 indigenous people would move from location to location in accordance with season changes or based on decisions made by Tribal Chiefs and Tribal Elders. The Kel-kon'e and Tel-kon'e are two Northern Tribes that predominantly occupied the Northwestern Lowlands, in what would eventually become Oakham Governorate. They were semi-nomadic, with some settlements close to rivers and the Malentine Sea. The Tel-kon'e also had a limited ability to traverse open water and the littoral areas to the Malentine Islands, and occupied some of the Northern parts of Foxhey Governorate until they were forced to leave during the Third Bush War.  

==== Southern Tribes ====

Southern Tribes are generally characterized by their semi-nomadic lifestyle, with a tendency to have several small-medium sized settlements of which the nomadic bands travelled through. The dominant force in this area was the A'awaska, who were the first tribe to come into contact with Carnish settlers. The A'waska consistently fought over a period of centuries the Tyrohsa, the main inland Southern Tribe, and to a lesser extent the Makalan. Both the A'awaska and the Makalan had written languages and some written texts, and possessed some forms of agriculture and a blended diet of both hunted and gathered sustenance as well as farm-grown vegetables. The Tyrohsa were entirely nomadic, relying on fishing in the McCallan River, and hunting the roving bands of deer and elk in the Arcer Heartland for sustenance. By the mid-1800s, the Tyrohsa had largely been driven out of the Southern portion of the Arcer Heartland, although during the Second Bush War, they were a main combatant in the Southeast.
