The Nanep Tribe

Government

The Nanep are a nomadic tribe of Dank Elves that wander the Danklands . Their numbers are few and fluctuates often, with only about a hundred of them, mostly consisting of families. They wonder the swamps with their leader, the chieftain, who is typically a older adult that calls most of the shots and tells the others what to do.   Being nomadic they will always be moving the location of their their village each season. This is cause of the harsh conditions of the Danklands making it difficult to stay in one spot. The tribe is mostly welcoming to anyone who wishes to travel with them, but they are not afraid to leave someone behind for causing trouble.   Being in the danklands, the are completely isolated from other civilizations, and rarely encounter other dank elf tribes. They know nothing about the floating isles above them at all.

Architecture

The tribe uses easily constructed tents as their primary living spaces. These are deigned to hold up against flooding and be easily packed up to be moved to a different location. If they plan to stay for a while they will build proper mud and wood a huts and will simply just leave them behind when they leave. Remains of previous settlements can be found in very locations.

Geography

The settlement is not often in the same spot for long, they often have to move to different parts of the danklands due to flooding or scarce resources. They tend to make a circle around the same continent, lacking the boats necessary to move across the vast and turbulent seas of the Danklands.

Natural Resources

The tribe will usually make use of whatever limited recources are available, be it food or crafting materials.   They travel with large Fungus Beasts, large turtle like creatures with giant mushrooms growing out of their back that are native to the Danklands. They are used to carry the carts that hold much of the tribes belongings.

History

This moving settlement is one of the oldest to exist in the Danklands and used to be much bigger. It also used to be a proper, stationary settlment, and one of many built by the dank elves on their continent, however an earth quake and subsequent volcanic eruption decimated most of the villages in the area, wiping out forests and other tribes in the process.   In the chaos, the people of the village of Nanep packed up and left the ash and fire could take them too. Ever since the villagers have constantly kept moving in order to avoid being caught in another devastating natural disaster.
