Valikan Tribes
The Valikan Tribes of Northern Wolcen are a group of semi-nomadic tribes bound together by similar needs for survival and safety. With no Tribe being in charge of the other infighting is a daily occurrence and the tribes truly only band together against outside forces or similarly dangerous threats. The Valikan Tribes continue to live by the old ways of Wolcen and do not worship the "new gods" as they call them and instead continue to venerate the animal spirits of their ancestors with tribes taking on the names of the animal spirits they wish to worship the most. Each tribe has its chieftain and this chieftains meet 2 times a year for yearly motes or meetings of the chiefs. Motes may be called at any time if one of the chieftains feels it is necessary Motes usually meet at neutral holy sites scattered across the Valikan Frostlands. These motes are great events where whole tribes may gather together for trade, festivities and the sharing of information. Some of the Valkian tribes spend their lives following the great herds of the north either mammoth, musk oxen or Reindeer. Other tribes are completely sedentary such as the Bear tribe at Cold iron keep who rely on other nomadic tribes to bring supplies in and out for them. The Valkian highlands is also one of the only places in Ator where monstrous and humanoid races live in harmony the Mammoth tribe for example is made up almost entirely of Orcs and Half-orcs or the Raven Tribe which has many Gnoll members. Valkian tribesman look upon more civilized folks with disdain and see city walls and other such factors of civilization as frivolous and/or useless things. The Valkian Tribes have recently been angered by the construction of the Nov Ostoyan prison of Revels End though some of the tribes assaulted the prison during its construction it did not dissuade the Ostoyans from finishing its construction and transporting their most dangerous criminals there. There are many sites across the Valkian frostlands that the Valkian tribes consider holy and must protect from outsiders anyone caught trespassing in these sites can expect harsh treatment from any Valkians.
