Category:Los Personas Del Surcar

The Personas Del Surcar are nomadic tribals living in the Cleft Desert. Their name translates to "People of the Cleft" and they have a deep fear of the ancient magic. They live around the World Cleave and its affected area as a reminder of what humanity can achieve with too much power. Government is incredibly loose; each tribe will have an elder, and once a year as many as are able will meet near the World Cleave in a conference called the Surca Concurrio. This meeting serves to disseminate news and the like among tribes, and sometimes judgement may be called on a member of a tribe considered unable to be fairly judged by the elder of their tribe.

Life in the desert is pretty much how it is in any desert, harsh and tough. It molds the Personas into hardy people who rely heavily on family support. They dress with light fabrics that cover their whole bodies to keep sand from scouring them raw. Camels are common mounts for them, and tents are the structures of choice when there are any.

There is no standing army, but many people train to be in a group styled most closely to a militia. They favor archery from horse or camelback, while some women train to be Dervishes.

Relations to other countries: They are not considered by many to be a noteworthy people, as most consider them crazy for living in such a hot environment, but they generally do not take offense, preferring mainly to be left alone. They do trade with the Sacaen tribes most often, as they are the people most like them.
