Dissident Tribes
Throughout the lands of Atys, dissenting homins have split away from their original civilizations forming fifty or so communities. These communities, otherwise known by the civilizations as tribes, control entire regions and continuously strive to extend their living space.
Tribes and civilizations struggle to secure vital zones in a fight for survival, consequently tribe and civilization outposts are subject to incessant sieges and raids.
Tribes of Atys: Part One
Because of the fragile balance
of the forces on Atys, the enemies of today can become the allies of tomorrow
and vice versa. There is no well-defined separation between black and white,
and there is no stereotypical separation of the different sides, where the same
sides are always either good or evil. The evolution of the political, social
and environmental situation on the planet depends entirely on the interaction
of the players with the world.
Some Existing Tribes
Barbarians: These tribes are composed of Homins
who have escaped the influence of Karavan. They do not remember anything of
their past and they have degenerated into total cruelty. They do not respect
any law and they fight for their daily survival. They will trade with player
civilizations or plunder their riches, according to the current balance of
forces.
Outlaws: These are
groups of Homins who were exiled from or fled their civilizations. They are
rebels, for example Matisian princes who failed to overthrow their government.
Certain groups seek to regain the power of their old civilizations, while
others have given up and seek to establish a new and different society on
Atys.
Pioneers: These groups
left their civilizations to found an independent city.
Fanatics: Some Homins invented quasi-religions to
explain the global destabilization of Atys. Some of these beliefs became dogma
for these tribes, who wish to impose their faith and their vision on the rest
of the world, for example the
Worship of Goo.
Kamic
Agents: This tribe is composed of Homins who have decided to support
the side of the Kamis exclusively.
Agents of the Karavan: This tribe is composed of
Homins who have decided to support the side of the
Karavan exclusively.
Mercenaries: Certain groups link together Homins
of various civilizations, but of the same profession. The most common of these
groups are mercenary groups, who sell their services to the highest bidder.
There are also groups of traders and manufacturers.
Secret societies: Some groups foment secret plans
to increase their knowledge and their power, such as the Black Circle, which
gathers black magicians together.
Amazons: This tribe gathers together Homin
females who have developed a matriarchal society, being isolated from the
conflicts of the violent ones who too often shake the planet.
