Vellek
Close followers of Veler. They also worship him as a hero and believe that he originated from their tribe. They practice with the spear religiously and are known as some of the best fighters in the world. Vellek warriors practice a beautiful and deadly dance passed down the generations called the Spear Dance. It tells the story of their mythos between Veler and the Animal Trickster Gods. People in the tribe use the dance as a way to also hone their skills with the spear. It teaches how to defend and attack, and a variety of moves with the weapon. The Vellek tribe travels the Savannahs tracking packs of wild animals to survive.
Every morning the people of the Vellek tribe rise and run through their traditional spear dance before doing anything else. They witness the sun rise and let its warmth fill their soul as they hone their body. The Vellek are nomadic. The Vellek people are very warm-hearted and welcoming, following the Ubuntu tradition: We are people, not because of our individuality, but by virtue of our connections to other people, thus underlying the importance of relationships.
Traditional weapon – the Spear (Vellek). The Vellek spear is unique to each member, whereas the Miisai spear is the same. The Vellek spear includes several prongs below the point for defense against weapons as crossguards as well as catching inside flesh like barbs. The entirety of the Vellek spear is wood, but the shape resembles those found within Iron. Usually adorned a quarter of the way down the spear is a tussle or plumage of colorful feathers. Vellek like to adorn their spears because they are so important and unique to them.
The Vellek tribespeople do not adorn themselves in color much like other Soleri. Instead, they are distinguished because of their reverence and decoration of their spears.
Example names of the Vellek tribe: Male
