The Territory of Ina Tathen

Written by the FluffyRabbitofGondor

Description: A proud land of an simple, honorable yet fierce people, the “Inan”. “Inan” stands for “Silver Archer” and “Ina Tathen” means “Land of the Silver Archer” in their tongue. [The Inan are a cross between American native, celtic and asian in ethnicity and culture.] The Inan have left their land mostly wild, for they have a great love for the wilderness. Much of their culture is based on the hunting of the Moose, Caribou and Bison. They dress in plaid or checkered trousers, tunics and tabards and they often wear skins and furs. In battle they wear war-paint, chainmail, leather armor, and dark colors. As might be guessed, their preferred weapon is the bow, but they also are skilled craftsmen of metal and make swords, some of them quite large or curved or hooked and they have also invented certain throwing weapons which go over the tops of shields. All this gear of war has been necessary, since bloody-orcish brutes migrated from the underground three hundred years ago and still stalk their camps from the tall pines. The Inan have since hoped for THE Silver Archer to come, as prophesied, and deliver them from the orcs.
Peoples: Inan (Human ethnic group [Native/Oriental/Celtic Ethnicity]), also known strangely (no one knows why or how), as the “Gaels”. “Pine Orcs”.
