Default Re: Tath Zo'layum of the "Ziambii Ki" -Ed or L

The Second Rival Tribe.

The Ha'shans - "Tree Walkers"

Apperance.

The Ha'shans ( pronounced "Hah-Shains) are very different from the Guatumas and the Ziambii Ki, the are shorter like the Guatumas, but tend to have long black hair regardless of sex, also they have more oriental features. The Ha'shan is a very dexterious tribe. all members have corded muscle rather than stocky builds. they are the only tribe that keeps their body free of changes. they believe in naturaility and see such things as peircings,t attoos, etc as unnatural and harmful. Men generally have their hair braided while women will keep their hair free or pined up in a primitive bun, usually uasing feathers to decorate it. the Ha'shans are a very decorative tribe as well. they are the only tribe to use dyes and to wear full clothing, they are also the only tribe to make decorative weapons.

Culture.

The Hashan's are simplistic and humble in nature despite their love for colors and decoration. Among the tribes they are the msot hospitable. they are also the most against this war, and there have been many times that them and the Ziambii Ki have had peace treaties, though something usually goes wrong and the treaty is forgotten. the current one between the two tribes is five years old. the longest lasting treaty was ten. The Ha'shans are also the longest living tribe, increasing the other tribes' speculation that they have elf blood. whether this is true or not cannot be distinguished, if there was such blood, it is gone now for nothing but their longativey with life and dexterious nature would point to such.

like The Ziambii Ki the Ha'shans have a caste system. unlike the Ziambii Ki they have more of a empire than a democracy. the chief of the Ha'shan is called a "Ho Phet" ( HOE FET) or "great Teacher". the Ho Phet is unmmarried and therefor carries no heir. a new Ho Phet is chosen after each one dies.The Ho Phet chosen is given complete and absolute loyalty as well as dictatorship. the current Ho Phet is Guien Do'un (prounounce "Gee-in Doe-uhn" ) who has been reigning for 20 years.

Under the Ho Phet is their General or "Ha'gue" ( pronounce Hah- Goo) or "Tree Protector". He is considered the best at his art of combat, and is usually looked to when war is unavoidable. He is valued for hsi want for peace but understands that sometimes they must defend themselves and he is willing to do that for his whole tribe. in a direct confontation, the Ha'shans will rarewin the battle for they are the weakest of the three races, but a planed ambush, any any other attack in which they use their bow skills as wella s their hiding skills will be won.


Classes.

all Ha'shans are speed based. Rogues, rangers, speed based fighters and barbarians, monks, and druids are acceptable. The Ha'shans becuase of their bond with the forest ar ethe only tribe to ever been visited by their god, Katia (whom they called "Ha'Chi" (pronounced Hah- Chee) or "tree spirit" ) have been taught the art of magic in the form of druidry. However, becuase it was taught to them by Ha'chi it is considered very sacred and only the Ho Phet and anyone he considered faithful enough are allowed to learn the art. the magics of Druidry however, are never used for war agaisnt the other tribes and thus it is unknown by the other tribes that they have this knowledge. sucha rt is used in the healing of nature, constructing shelter (which causes their structures to resembles trees that have grown just right for one to live inside them), growing food, and helping the animals of their forest.
