Treil
Hunted and hated
The group of Treils danced in celebration of the completed wedding ceremony, the two partners smiling widely with a flower chain wrapped around their joined hands. They were both wearing their earchains they got from one another, they'd never looked happier than they did in that moment, standing together in their wedding attire with paint on their faces, which almost covering their green skin completely.Treil is an ethnicity of Iwachi found in the nothern parts of Ildres. They're technically living on the grounds of Ildres, but their territory has been agreed to be theirs in old documents between the Treil and the Nerna . The Nerna doesn't respect this anymore and they have been huntinh the Treil people, giving them the choice of either fleeing or dying.
Traditions and Ancestors
The Treil hold on to their traditions and take great pride in them. They don't see them as restrictive but rather as a way to honor their ancestors and have celebrations with the ones who are still alive. Their ancestors are generally what their traditions and religion revolve around, they believe that their ancestors influence the world around them, and if they make them proud and happy then good things will happen. They have many traditions, the most important involve births and deaths. It is of outmost importance to the treil that their people come and go to and from this life in the right way. They believe that a child's life may be cursed and they will live an unhappy life if they are not welcomed the right way. They also believe that ancestors not burried the right way come back as vengeful spirits.Naming Traditions
The treil people usually live in tribes, they all believe in the same things and are of the same decent, but they chose to spread out over a bigger area to make sure that they have enough resources. Their last names depend on which one of the tribes they come from, each tribe has a suffix which is put in the end of the actual last name. An example would be the Hutuni tribe, they have the suffix of -nui.
When naming children there are a few pointers that can be followed, but they don't have to be. Common girl names often end with either -sk, -pa, -y or -i. Common boy names usually end with -ol, -m, -ak or so.
A common thing is also that girls will get their mothers first name as their middle name and boys will get their fathers. Generally the last name of the father is passed on, but a child can pick whether they want one or the other. It is more normal to chose the father's name as it is easier to place people with the families they belong to
| Gender | Common name suffixes |
|---|---|
| Girls | -sk, -pa, -y or -i |
| Boys | -ol, -m, -ak or so |
History of the Hunted
Long before Ildres was founded, the main ethnicity of Iwach was the Treil. They are proud, united and very tradition oriented. When they attained new technology and entered a new age, many Iwach abandoned the old ways and moved to cities and forgot most of the traditions they used to have. These were no longer seen as Treil by the ones who stayed behind. The Treil were left alon for many years, they didn't cause any trouble so they were left to live their lives as they wanted to. But as time moved on, the modern Iwachi developed a distaste for the Treil.
They looked down upon them for still following the old ways, they were often branded as barbarians and uncivilized people. Then a fatal rumor started; they were called canibals and accused of kidnapping and killing children, as they apparently tasted the best. The general Iwachi population were in rage and many government funded groups went to the Treil's lands and slaughtered them. When the wars with the humans began, they didn't have the resources to keep hunting the Treil, but the distaste and mistrust never left the people of Ildres and the Treil are still hated to this day.
