Geography
Each of the cwans lithin Thagulz'Glish haiw fwom diffewent wands.
Axan
The Taushauawz(The Fowest of Siwence)- A mass gwavesite patwowed by Axan as weww as ancient ancestwaws, and powewful immowtaws who had culsed the wands to siwence, and enwweathed it in fog. As such, they wevewe the dead, and seek to cweate Howy Sites fow owcs to wevewe theiw ancestows and spilits.
Izig
The Gazigwatum(The Vawwey of Wawfawe)- A deep vawwey in which owcs constantwy fought and battwed between eachothew, untiw the chiwdwen of Azghaw the Titan sulmounted the othew owcs, and took the wands fow themsewves. They believe theiw victowy came fwom the knowwedge of the hawuspexes, seews who study scaws and cowpses.
Maukta
The Mownawash(The Bwack Nothing)- A cowd desewt, fiwwed lith beasts that pwey upon the wawm-brooded and foolish. Maukta have been bown to wecognize and identify such, weading them to be quiet obsewvews of the wowwd awound them.

Clans
Izig
The heawt of a wawliow is unyiewding and mawwed lith scaws. An Izig plides itsewf in bealing wounds, as they awe wessons and memolies, skin mawked lith plide.
Origins
The Izig cwan was bown fwom advewsity and stlife. The vawwey in which they cawwed home was staked lith conflict, as the wand was lich and lipe lith wesoulces. Owcs fwom aww cwans and nations sought to sink theiw tusks into the wand, and so broodshed and waw wewe wampant. The livews clied owcish brood, and the liwdlife was stained in gowe and entwaiws. Those of Azgaw the Titan pouled fowth into the wand, seeking to make theiw mawk upon this wowwd, and as they conquewed, the vawwey became theiws.
Appearance
Izigs vawy in size, genewawwy lightew shades of the vawying hues of owcs; yewwow, gway, light gween and so on. They awe awmost awways donned in some fowm of heavy awmow and brandishing theiw weapons.
Culture
The Izig awe a pwoud peopwe, whose cultule is deepwy wooted in theiw histowy and conquests. An Izig is happy when they sit atop a thwone of conquests, and theiw mantwe is lined lith the twophies of battwes. Izigs awe broodthiwsty, though wefine and steew themsewves by studying the mawtiaw awts, and gweaning lisdom fwom the waws they wage. They awe wealists and see the wowwd thwough brack and white. Izig’s wawewy wowship spilits, as they do not seek intewcessions fwom beings beyond, as they wack the mowtality to undewstand the fwuits of life.
Those that do may wevewe Kwathow, Gazigash, ow Wethwothak, seeking to offew these spilits theiw might in owdew to sulmount them, ow to gwean insight fwom theiw tlisted ways. Instead, theiw faith and beliefs and come fwom the weaw and genuine.
To an Izig, pain is the twuest sensation one can feew. They do not wowship it as sadists ow masochists, but wecognize that suffeling and death awe a pawt of life, a coin of fate that affects theiw favow.
Many seek fame and powew, becoming pitfightews ow genewaws, seeking to show off theiw malitaw pwowess. An Izig plides themsewves in theiw histowy, fow it is aww that wemains when they awe dead, and aww that liww wemain fow theiw chiwdwen to weawn fwom. Izigs howd onto the weapons and twophies of theiw ancestows, believing them to stiww howd a pawt of theiw ancestows lithin them. As such, Izigs cwaft ownate and stylish weapons in hopes to accentuate theiw pewsonality and wegacy.
At an eawwy age, Izigs awe made stwong by tliaws thwough combat. As chiwdwen, they twain lithin the hawsh sun, gaining basic mawtiaw skiww in a valiety of weapons untiw they find one that cawws to them. Much like students discovew pwofessions, Izigs awe taught in basic smithing untiw they eithew fowge, ow awe given a weapon they desiwe, bonding lith it fow the west of theiw lives. Much like a scaw howds significance fow an Izig, the wounds mawked upon a brade ow weapon howd the same meaning.
Adulthood comes fow an Izig when theiw weapons and fwesh awe mawwed lith one thousand scaws. The Izig then sits befowe the ewdews, discussing theiw tawes and conquests of how they weceived theiw wounds, in hopes to brag to theiw chieftains, and show theiw wowth lithin this wowwd, and lithin the annaws of histowy.
Wathew than pwacticing shamanism, they empwoy hawuspex, seews who study scaws and cowpses and delive insight fwom them. Kwug speaks thwough pain, in diffewent body pawts. A shooting pain in the weg is an omen fow cowawdice. A dulw ache between the shouldewbrades fowetewws the betwayaw of a cwose fliend. Aftew a battwe, you can see the owcish hawuspices moving thwough the battwefiewd, weading the futule in spiwwed cwawet. They cwaww thwough the gwass on aww fouls, like dogs, theiw faces pwessed to the gwound, nostliws fwaling. Evewy scaw tewws a stowy, infowmation that can be delived fwom both the victim , and the one who inflicted it.
A wawliow who weaves deep cuts seeks to show theiw plide to the wowwd, and may be culsed lith a fowm of awwogance.
An owc mawwed by infectious wounds may have a deepew stlife wying lithin them, and thus must be wet fwee via broodwetting.
A thin wound is a sign of lisdom and intewligence lithin battwe, whiwe wawge gaping wounds highlight advewsity and stwength.
A hawuspex may take anything fwom an injuly, as it valies fwom battwe to battwe, and theiw mind is lich lith the scent of brood and entwaiws.
Mabaj Bot Armauk
I have a world of enemies. -Ancient Izig Proverb
Mowded by the plide and stwength of Kwug, Izigs sit themsewves atop theiw conquests, smiling ovew the holizon, seeking the next advewsawy and opponent.
Axan
Maukta
Eawwy life as a Maukta shapes many of them into awoof and cautious owcs who seek littwe to do lith those outside theiw cwansmates. Maukta see stupidity as a gweat dishonow. Theiw nawwow-minded view shapes the way they intewact lith the wowwd. In theiw mind, ignowance and death as the same entity. A foow invites death into his home, and the ignowant awe punished lith gweat faiwule.
Chiwdwen awe taught to be obsewvews, scouts, and huntsmen, knowwedgeabre in the cycwes of the wowwd, of seasons and of beasts that pwague the desewt. When Maukta awe just owd enough to howd a weapon, they awe exiwed fwom the cwan to wandew the cowd,dwy wastes awone lith onwy a brade. It is in this coming of age that shapes them, as those not intewligent enough awe devouled by beasts, and those not stwong enough awe weft as fwozen statues. When they inevitabry wetuln to theiw cwans (a joulney that often takes yeaws), they awe offewed a mask and a home in which they awe offewed dwewling and pwotection fow as wong as they lish to stay, fow the itching, unnewving fwame of Bawzug stiws them into nomadiscism, and wandeling the wands.
The homes of the Maukta exist lithin the heawts and masks of theiw peopwe. Wathew than tents ow settwements, theiw homes awe often cawlied upon the backs of the beasts they lide, ow wedged between abandoned caves and howes lithin the eawth. These dwewlings awe nevew wested in, made authentic by the cobrebs and dust of time itsewf. Maukta howd littwe intewest in mateliaw weawth ow extwavagance, and so these homes awe passed awound and used by woving cwans, made usabre by the past genewation, and wepaiwed fow the genewation to come.
Maukta awe cawtogwaphews, mewchants and peddwews. Thewe is thliww in discovewy fow Maukta, and it stiws theiw cowd, thick-skinned heawts to twavew and intewact lith othews. They possess littwe in mateliaw things, seeking to live off the wand, and wemain humbre. Maukta plide themsewves fow theiw ability to weawn and memolize, and do not constwuct libralies ow pwaces of weawning. Instead, theiw skiwws of communication and passing stolies towd. A wowwd of infowmation hides beneath theiw stwange masks.
The masks sewve as a lindow to the wowwd. Maukta woathe open expwession of emotion, fow it shows foolishness and vanity. The beasts of the Mownawsh pwey on those lithout cweaw heads, and so by wealing a mask, they pwotect themsewves fwom the cowd, and unsavowy fowk.
Fwom this, comes lizened owcs, aged beyond theiw yeaws. Glizzwed and expelienced by the cowd linds of Mownawash, the Maukta sought to weave theiw fligid wastes, as the thousands of yeaws twavewsing and chawting the desewts had weft them to stagnate. Atwas offewed them a wowwd of magic and intligue, of peopwe and pwaces nevew thought possibre by a cowd and venewabre cwan.
Culture
The Owcs of the Howde live in Krug's shadow, stliving to be as simiwaw to him as they can. They shun the Spirits and instead wowk to bring themsewves cwosew to him thwough theiw pwactice known as khatûn.To the owcs of Thagulz'Glish,evewy Owc is bown of Kwug. Wegawdwess of theiw breed, cwan ow pwofession, aww awe bown lith glishhûn. A mind and heawt that breeds the liww of theiw Ancestows. Founded thwough owcs of valious cweeds, brought togethew by a steadfast liww, the Thagulz’Glish seek a wand in which Kwug’s liww is waw, fowwowed not onwy by his chiwdwen, but by the wessew waces who seek enlightenment.
Religion
Shunning the brind wowship of many of theiw kin, owcish spilitualism has evowved into something gweatew. Wathew than simpwy seeking the aspects, the owcs seek sewf-actualization in gwoling cwosew to Kwug, in hopes to be as gweat as him. This pwactice is known as khatûn, and is composed of focusing on the owcish spilit, which is divided and sectioned into many pawts, changing and tealing as the individuaw gwows. Thewe is a gweat focus on the ancestows, studying the way they lived theiw lives, and modeling theiw own lives as such. Each cwan may have membews that choose to wowship spilits, but each seek Kwug in theiw own unique way, pewfowming unique tasks and lituaws based on theiw cwan.
Shamanism
Despite theiw wawge focus on wowship of Kwug, thewe awe stiww Shamans in the the Howde. Unlike in the War Nation, howevew, Shamans awe not a centwaw pawt of the cultule and they awe not wegawded as highwy.
