Ei’Lep

"This tribe of nomads range from the southern coast to the desert north of Sandstones. They ride atop long-legged mounts known as Gaffe, that are equally at home in the desert sands or the southern swamps. These nomads are famed cavalry archers, as well as hunters, often plying their wares as far west as Tall Stones, or as far south as Gillnett." - 'A Brief history of the Tribes', by Elem Torshall

Structure

A number of small nomadic tribes, the Ei'Lep are united under the leadership of small council of elders and seers. Each wandering tribe acts autonomously, hunting, traveling and trading as they see fit, but meeting twice a year (or occasionally more) in a grand tribal conclave.

Assets

Often carrying salted or smoked meats, they also sell a number of clay beads, well crafted arrows and bows, leather goods, and a myriad of purchased or collected trade goods.

Foreign Relations

Fair. The Ei'Lep are fairly well trusted by most civilized peoples, known for conducting themselves politely when visiting other towns or peoples. They are also typically ignored by more aggressive peoples, as they reputation for being expert archers and cavalry make them a daunting target.
