Feel free to read this; but otherwise just ignore it. Working on the actual thing right now. This is just for my memory. Think of it as my little writing corner or some s**t.

Post the real thing up later. Or something. Do not take the below as fact. Do not message me with 'OMGWTFNO!' or any variation. Leave me alone until I finish and I will hear you then.

Thank you.


What I sent the Jello Man
Their a group of indians who kind of 'migrated' into the mountains north of Hyphos after their land was expanded on. Either "hide" or get assimilated into the Dark nation. Reservation life. Closest relation would probably be with Hyphos just due to location; though it would still be distant. Counting that they forced them onto a reservation of Earth's own design and all.

And Earth is one of the purer bloodlines; so marriage - or birth - from another nation is considered taboo as I understood it. So; a male from a family is chosen to wed a female of equal or close age in the tribe. Picked from the cradle. Arranged marriages make RP intereasting.

Tribal culture mostly self sufficient (And thus behind in technology) but with 'hardier' people and such. I was tossing around the idea of them being big on horse breeding; perhaps sell them in Hyphos. Counting that the plains/mountainous enviorment works better for raising strong ones. Especially if the tribe uses them regularly. It works for an export. Along with weaving and pottery. Like Indian work sells for high price due to being 'exotic'; even to people who look down on them. And that should be all.

Would be cool to have mages called 'Shamans' and have that whole 'Mother Earth' worship going on. Also; inbreeding can produce golden eyes after a certain amount of time. Perhaps have those born with Golden eyes sent into training to be High-Shaman or whatever? Counting generally in Midevil times - where WoG is basically set even though people argue it - people with birth defects were either considered cursed or gifted.

And come on; golden eyes are a gift.

What I have so far without pretty formatting and tabbed sections - UNFINISHED
General Information

User Image
- Star Is Location Of Tribe Reservation -


The Earth Tribe is generally considered to be the smallest group among the Bloodlines. This can only be supported by the existance of only one clear settlement devised for the group.

An existance known as 'savages' and 'barbarians' has geared them towards a self contained enviorment. Their blood is kept somewhat pure by inner relations in the tribe. As with all things there is a certain 'Heirarchy' to the social structure and responibilties that come with the castes.

At the top of the group is the Tribal Chief - a member of the Earth Bloodline who has been trained as a Shaman (Any Level of Earth Mage). This position is one chosen for a set amount of children - high ranking in the Heirarchy - who spend their lives in training for it from the previous Chief. When the previous Chief dies; a Heir is chosen from the training group. All decisions concerning the Tribe and its well being are derived from the Chief and the Council Of Six.

The Six are the Highest ranking members of the Tribe next to the Chief. Acting as a form of Parliament; their decisions as a group can veto that of the Chief if they are in agreement. Often their chosen fields will be wide suited; so as to cover all aspects of tribal life. An intelligent Blacksmith could be placed into the Six. A horse breeder who showed potential. Even a beggar could enter into this group. All depends on who the previous position holder chooses as a Heir.

Relations within the tribe - Marriage and Birth - are often a premade affair. Marriages are generally arranged for convience to bring two families closer together. It is announced to the tribe and that person becomes 'off limits' for the entirity of their lives until marriage. To marry outside of the tribe is considered taboo and disgraceful. Doing so is a quick method of being expeled.

Members of the Tribe are generally uneducated in textbook knowledge; but vastly knowledgable in the area of practical uses. While some might not be able to read; they can ride a horse. Generally only those in training to be Shamans (Earth Mages) within the tribe learn to read and write so as to serve as spirtual leaders..
