Shades of Melorian
Founding Origins
The Shades of Melorian have been around on Arion for so long that very few, aside from leadership of the tribe and the councils of Ringterel, know how long they've been active for. Originally, they were created as an off-shoot branch of Ringterel, set to explore the continent and go where needed. Since then, the Shades have evolved into the current self-sufficient, self-reliant nomadic tribe that they are today
Present Day
The Shades of Melorian, as a complete entity, are a large nomadic tribe. As such, they tend to remain in an area for anywhere between a few months to a few years. Their nomadic spirits and thirst for adventure grows restless with time. They survive through living off the land, commerce and mercenary endeavors in their current area
Culture
- Given their origins, they are primarily made up of Elves of all kinds, however they do accept anyone of any race provided they can take care of themselves (or are willing to learn) and actively contribute to the tribe
- Primarily the Shades of Melorian use a barter system for trade, so that makes deals and trades somewhat unpredictable. That said, they do have currency too, as not all are willing to engage with them in their preferred method
- They have a stigma as a nomadic refugee camp, however this is not entirely true

Laws
- The word of the Shadeseer is final
- Family and tribe first, then anything and anyone else
- Live off the land, do not leave it desolate when you leave
- Everything is fair game, but expect the same thing to happen back to you. Steal from me, I steal from you - once and done
