Dalun-Mock
The Dalun-Mock were a relatively sizable tribe located in the Land of Whispers (Or Aút-Nor in their toungue). Unlike most of the other human tribes and elvish clans, that prefer a more nomadic lifestyle, due to the largely unpredictable environment that the Land of Whispers provides, the Dalun-Mock were actually able to settle down and create a village that has lasted many centuries with a rich oral tradition.
Structure
Within the tribe there were three light castes based on occupation that an individual can fall into. These are not divided by gender or social status and intermingling between the three is both accepted and encouraged, although the warrior caste will typically keep to itself so that they can birth stronger warriors. All members of the tribe will eventually fall into one of the three groups when they come of age. In addition, there is also the leader of the tribe, known as the Esselda. The Esselda can come from any of the three castes, but that is unusual.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Esselda | The Esselda is the leader of the tribe. They serve as spiritual leader, mediator of disputes, and the one who helps individuals figure out what role they play in society. |
| Maethor | The group responsible for protecting the tribe. Typically reserved for those with great strength or survivability. Hunters will also fall into this realm. (Ranger/Barbarian/Fighter) |
| Curunir | The mystics of the tribe. Only those with an affinity for nature, and the ability to commune with it can enter this group. They are also diviners/oracles, said to be able to commune with the tribe's gods. Because of this, they are the smallest of the three. Most Esselda come from here. (Druid/Cleric) |
| Bar | The gatherers/farmers. Those who lack combat strength or an affinity with nature fall here. This is the largest group in the tribe |
History
The Dalun-Mock Tribe were founded around 256 PoT. Tired of the nomadic lifestyle many had to face in order to survive in the wild and unpredictable Land of Whispers, a group of humans led by Aroqinor Dalun-Mock decided to create a settlement in a more temperate region of the land. Their struggles were great, but through hard work and a resilience unmatched by almost any other, they were able to eventually cultivate some farmland and permanently situate themselves.
Disbandment
The Dalun-Mock were betrayed by one of their own. A human male named Ty’rooqu, along with a pack of shadow creatures, decimated the village. They seemingly left only one survivor, a man named O'rrack Piancarlo, who is on his path for answers.
Religion
The Dalun-Mock worship the Elvish gods Dalun-Mer, and Ronralun. While some will give reverence to Al-Avana (for the druids) and Thal-Mior (for funeral rites), the rest of the tribe will look to Dalun-Mer as their primary deity.
