Tiger Nomads

Geography

They are bordered by the Barrier Peaks to the north/north-west, the Dark-Barrier Peaks to the south/south-west, Longman's Hill to the east, the Stark Valley to the north-east, and the Yucha Valley to the south-east.

Population

As of 851 SE, the estimated population (by Starbo) of the Tiger Nomads totaled 93,000 persons, the overwhelming majority (93%) being humans. Halflings, elves, and other humanoids make up the remainder of the population.

The most popular deities among the Nomads are Aerdrie Faynya, Sehanine Moonbow, and Selûne.

Government

The Tiger Nomad's do not have a formal system of government. The numerous nomadic clans are loosely ruled by the most powerful noble of the royal clan. The current head-of-state of the Tiger Nomads is the Unvanquishable Tiger Lord, Ståle Kielland, of the Chakyik Hordes.

Deer (+1 production) (animal husbandry) (camp)
Sheep (+1 food) (animal husbandry) pasture)

Wheat (+1 food) (pottery) (farm)

Luxury Resources

Luxury resources are commodities highly prized by Citizens, and their availability helps increase Citizen happiness by granting Amenities. Most Luxury Resources are provided by the land, and you can access them by improving a hex/tile that contains the resource or even founding a settlement on it (provided you've access to the technology necessary to improve it). Some, however, are exclusive products of specific city-states and may only be obtained via them. Yet others are the lifework of Great Merchants, who you will need to attract to your settlements in order to access the resource.
