There are currently two coded tribes that humans can join. Both have tribal locations in the world as a sort of ‘home base’ but are codedly set close enough to civilization so that players can have easy access to both Shetno and Blackwater.
The third option is to have a virtual tribe as part of your background.
Rokoros ay’La –
The Rokoros ay’La have lived deep within their grove for the last six ages. Guided by a deep connection with nature, they live harmoniously with Athas, maintaining a delicate balance with the land to revive what is lost in the dying world by tending to it as they have their home. They assist life in growing and encourage the world to be lush and rich again, as seen by the few lucky outsiders who are ever granted entrance to their grove. The Rokoro are not just passive observers of their surroundings but actively engage with the land to ensure its prosperity. Their mages embark on journeys to terraform, shaping the terrain to create flourishing oases and enhancing soil fertility. Additionally, hunters among the tribe are tasked with tracking and confronting defilers, those who would harm the grove or disrupt its delicate balance. They are seen as adversaries to their way of life, and their elimination is considered a sacred duty.
Xar’mida
The Xar’mida have been around for several centuries, their exact location of their camp is one of the greatest mysteries in world, as no one has ever seen it, or even know what general area it is in. Perhaps the reason for the Xar’mida being as secretive as they are, is their uncanny ability to tame, raise, and even break in, dangerous wild animals. From small rats as pets, to the mighty Mzah Lions as mounts, they seem to have a knack for raising and training animals, on a scale like no other.
There has always been speculation as to why the Xar’mida all look incredibly well alike one another, all having the same amber golden hued eyes, and brown hair. Though their skin tones may change, with freckles being quite frequent with the males in particular, their hair and eyes always remain the same in every member of the tribe.
It is uncertain as to when they started being known as ‘Circus folk’, but for as long as anyone can remember, the Xar’mida have put up pavilions around the world, and held shows with their animals.
