Name: The Hesukar
Leader: Trying to figure out a cool name, will put something here once I do.
Short History: For centuries the Hesukar have served the Black Kings, harbingers of a fell harvest. They have supped in the halls of the Midnight Palace, learned of the arts of blood and darkness to wreak slaughter, to warp bone into armor and raise unliving abominations. High does the black flame burn, fueled by cannibal rite and sacrifice. They aim to bring their Edicts to all corners of the Earth, to usher forth pain and strength. Warriors train as the Augurs fortell conquest and blood, victories built on skull pyramids and corpse-pyres. Praise be the Black Kings and honor to their Chosen, the Hesukar.
Starting Location: Hesukar Location (Am I the H or HU?)
Advantage: N/A I think? I don’t know.

Also we can tear down structures and receive a portion of the resources spent right?

Name:Warcyfle
Leader: Chieftain Gu of Two Islands
Short History:The Warcyfle's history is shrouded in mystery and much hadn't been recorded due to them making the first recorded stories of their love for their Storm God, Tes'la. Much has been recorded of their rise of prosperity between them and the Aun'kal through their chieftains and their clan circles with the families also having their own personal scribes. The people in the history itself had structured themselves as a primitive caste system with the means of production being in control of the priesthood as they held the secrets of Teslanite and the ability to teach it to other smiths as a means of producing their rare magical metal.

Over current history, there has been a building of tension between their neighbors. This came with the Warcyfle settling on their neighboring island to expand beyond the Island of lo. The settlement was an outpost called Mantu Hui and was the start of concern with their neighbors. It escalated when the Children of Tes'la made a more advance galley, the bireme. This ship being the might of the smaller civilization had cost the people more than it should.

This came with the Aun'kal embezzling from them and the Warcyfle attempting to use their warship to blockade the island only to hurt them both and had have them now looking at each with a bit of disdain. The people inside the Warcylfe believe that the current chieftain, Gu to be ineffective and his supporters angry at his lack of an effective army to right this wrong to what they thought were friends. Gu is now sitting on his supporters questioning his right to rule and the Aun'kal bitter against their neighbors for generations of tensions.

Can Gu be able to quell the dissent and mend the wounds between former friends? Can he amass an army worthy of pressing the claim and showing the might of Tes'la? Or will the chieftain himself be dethroned and Tes'la's Favored fallen into ruin?
Starting Location: On map
Advantage: That I don't know.

Name: City of Daru
Leader:Kirtar
Short History: The city of Daru was founded on north of the Pardis Mountains by the Nirari Tribe, the dominant cultural group in the city. While there some people from other tribes integrated within the tribe and the city it founded, it was built on Nirari principles and built to provide a home for the Nirari going forward. In times past they wandered the plains and even trekked the mountains before founding the city. They seek to dominate the various beasts of the plains, to which end they have domesticated the great horned lords, Unicorns, and as an easy source of food, the chickens living in the area they now live. They continue to seek out further creatures and plants to aid in their dominion over the land. To this end, they worship the mysterious Ancestor, a goddess of the earth which the priestly class claims will help all life grow in and around the city.
Starting Location: Nirari Tribal location
Advantage: N/A (already cashed in?)

Name: Aled Aedryn
Leader: Ithel Brigantia
Short History: With a knowledge made wider by her illustrious forbearers, the Aederfolk made the transition from savages to city dwellers. In the home of their ancestors the Aederfolk erected the city of Dol Aelyd. With fine homes and prosperity, Dol Aelyd is contented and well situated as the center of Aeder culture. Following the sledge paths West lays the troublesome mountain settlement of Dol Angren. In recent years the city has had reason to quarrel with her sister city of Dol Aelyd over mismanagement of resources. These tensions have been quieted for now by hefty investment from the Lowlander Aederfolk. Going into this new age the Aederfolk are led by Brigantia, Chief of Dol Aelyd.
Starting Location: Dol Aelyd (Aederfolk starting location)
Advantage: Do we pick a new one?

Name: Pillar of Varra (Saladonians)
Leader: Chieftain Elspeth Saelon
Short History: Sons of Varrus, Children of Saladon, Those who claimed the verdant plains. There are many names for the kin of Varra. They care little of war, merchants, artisans, and farmers of heart, when they spend time not exploring the vast plains.

They are the first pillar of Saladon, a beacon of light in a wild land. Settled by Varrus Saelon, the great ancestor and father of Varra. He would be the first to rule Varra, but not the last. His son, and then his son's son would be follow suit. Until the male blood line would eventually run out, and a daughter of Varrus would take the throne. Bearing the name Chieftain, so that it would be clear to all, that she rules the Pillar of Varra, and no one else.

She and her council, are known as the first pillar, the first government to rule on these plains, and the first beacon of Saladon. They are poised to guide Varra through it's many troubles and gains for years to come. Acting as the city's protector and leaders.

There are also the concern of those who left Varra years ago, what became of them? Did they return to the nomadic lifestyle of the ancestors, or they formed a new pillar, independent of that of Varra. Hopefully their kin were not jaded by the council's harsh demand, a just but harsh demand. Hoping to reconcile with their lost kin. If not by unity then by trade and cooperation.

Regardless, Varra looks to this new era with optimism, hoping to father new pillars around it's prosperous citystate.

I was hoping by having a large amount of people in the tribal stage I'd have a decent or slightly better population number for being a migratory tribe. But I guess the events made a bigger impact if anything

You should probably compare how many people you had as a tribe to how many people others had

I know I was behind, but I felt like I really made population a focus for my tribe. Im pretty sure I was the biggest among the migratory tribes at the very least.
