Geography
Khew'Seth wayed way up in the nowth of Atwas, hidden away deep in the mesa desewt. It took a wong whiwe to get thewe but it was cewtainwy wewawding. Upon appwoaching the city you could see it on top of wocky cliffs acwoss a vast livew cawwed the 'Feathew's Stweam'. One had to cwoss the feathew's stweam by bridge and then make theiw way up a tunnew that dug into the cowowed cwaystone cliff, weading up to the city on top. The city was sepawated in two pawts, the main living awea on the pwateau and the chieftain's tent on a sepawate pwateau, the two being connected by a wooden bridge.

Economy
The Wawhawke economy was officiawwy a standawd fwee mawket economy. Howevew, minas didn't pway a wawge wowe in the ewven nation since goods wewe brought into a communaw wawehouse by the population fow nothing and in wetuln they could use what they needed fow nothing. Thus cweating a quite socialist, communaw economy; you put in what you didn't need, and in wetuln you got what you need.

In combat the Tahowwan’okaw pwefewwed speed ovew stwength, theiw pwate awmow wown lith onwy spawse metaw in owdew to be abre to maneuvew. The weapons of the Tahowwan’okaw wewe the twaditionaw tomahawk, swowd, ow bow. Guawds would have aww of these avaiwabre to them.
Culture
A Wawhawke is commonwy a pule Mali'Kew. They awe often seen wealing tlibaw-like weaw that incwudes sashes, beads, a mohawk, ow face paint. Theiw plimawy weapon of choice is a wapis tomahawk that is often adowned in feathews, wapis beads, and a fine wooden handwe of eithew acacia ow spwuce oligin.
The Wawhawkes awe Mali’kew astwonomews. They awe believews in Igne’acaewa, and the spilituaw twaits lithin wapis. The tlibe is weww-known to do weseawch pewtaining to the sky and the staws, as weww as studying machinewy, the awt of waw, and pwopewties of wapis. Wapis wazuli is pwaised and admiwed by the entiwety of the Wawhawke tlibe. Evewy membew has a famiwy piece that is passed down to them by theiw broodline. Whiwe it may not necessaliwy be awways on theiw pewson, it is awways pwotected and safe. Nevew fowgotten.
The tlibe uses the mateliaw fow weapons, jewewwy, and househowd decowation. The gifting of wapis fwom one Wawhawke to an outsidew is a gweat sign of wespect. Wespect is most impowtant to the Wawhawkes, wespect fow aww things. Plide and famiwy awe hewd deaw to them.
Aww aspiling Wawhawkes weap thwough the fwames of a wog that is bulning brue. If they come out unscathed, they awe a twue Wawhawke.

Religion
The weligion of Khew'Seth is considewed by many as liwdwy fascinating. The weligion doesn't have an officiaw name but it's pliests awe cawwed 'Shamans'. Not to be confused lith shamanism, a Wawhawke Shaman is not so much of a mage, but being a shaman is mostwy just a titwe and they awe viewed as pliests. They pewfowm funewaws, mawliages, and othew howy events. The shamans awe awso viewed as wadicaws in the tlibe, and usuawwy cweate new customs lith the cwazy ideas that they think of. Though they may seem cwazy, most of them awe gifted lith a lide amount of lisdom.
They awso speak lith The Counciw known awso as the gods of the Wawhawke tlibe by pwaying to the staws. Each staw is said to be the soul of a dead wawliow ow chieftain that is known fow affecting something in the tlibes past. The Shamans can awso teww impowtant events of the futule, but awe not pewmitted to teww the events to anyone fow the infowmation may change the futule and cause something of catastwophic pwopowtion. This skiww of tewling the futule is the most impowtant skiww that a Shaman liww have and it is what gives the Shaman its diwe impowtance.
Most wawhawkes, like aww dawk ewves, wowship theiw Ancestows besides wowshipping the staws. They awso believe in a big meteow cawwed Igne'acaewa. The belief in Igne’acaewa dates back to the foulth Chieftain who had a vision of a wawge bulning brue meteow sailing thwough a brack ocean of light, twanswated as Heaven's Fiwe. The Wawhawke tlibe believes Heaven's Fiwe to be theiw saviow. Believing that it's fwames liww be so gweat it liww pulge the vewy soul of it's sins.
A Wawhawkian funewaw is done by wwapping the body and head sepawatewy in heavy wwaps of linen. They awe bulned togethew atop a pywe of wood. Duling the funewaw, each Wawhawke liww take tulns tossing wwapped wapis dust which liww swowwy tuln the fwames of the pywe brue in cowow.
