Nivemus/Tribes of Nivemus

Introduction

The tribes of the North, mostly occupied by the realm Nivemus, have an extensive and flavorful history to them.

These are the histories of the tribes of Nivemus, uncovered by the nobles of Nivemus.

The Haradrim

The Haradrim is the oldest(approximately 7 centuries old) and third largest tribe of the North. Dark-skinned, harsh, and war-like, the tribe is entrenched in tradition and resides in the regions of Pedrera and Caqueta. They have lived and died in the badlands for so long that even the meaning of 'Haradrim' has long been forgotten. The influence of the Haradrim tribe's traditions stretches far across the borders of Pedrera and Caqueta, as numerous wars with the Desertulo have left the Haradrim mark in Csopa and Northern Obando.

The Desertulo

Directly South of the Haradrim is the second-oldest tribe(approximately 6 centuries old) and the smallest of the tribes, the Desertulo, which means 'the desert people'. This tribes influence and population is almost entirely confined within the borders of Obando, however the influence sometimes spills over into Dale and Csopa in the South and East. The smallest and least prosperous of the tribes of the North, the Desertulo tend to keep to themselves and the little that they have. This probably is a result of all the wars that have ravaged the lands of the Desertulo, as Obando has always been a prime target for battles.

The Litustrum

West of the Desertulo is the youngest and biggest of the tribes(approximately 3-4 centuries old): the Litustrum, which means 'Of the Southern Beaches'. The Litustrum are an easy going people that have fluctuated in size and wealth over the past few centuries. At the largest, the Litustrum occupied the entire region of Salta, the eastern tip of Gadlock and the Southernmost beaches of Juazeiro and was the second richest tribe of them all. The light-skinned Litustrum tribe has always been a rival of it's prosperous northern neighbor, the Posperulo.

The Posperulo

North of the Litustrum tribe is the Posperulo tribe, the most prosperous and second biggest tribe. The third oldest tribe(approximately 5-6 centuries old), the Posperulo have enjoyed much wealth in its history as a tribe. The posperulo tribe occupies Juazeiro and Southern Pucallpa and is the rival of the Litustrum tribe, which many Posperulo historians consider just an offshoot of the Posperulo tribe.

The Omsk

The second youngest tribe(approximately 4-5 centuries old) and second smallest tribe, The Omsk are often called the 'Melting Pot' tribe for it's combination of traditions that have come from the older tribes. Although some consider it an actual tribe and others just peasants that have been influenced by the other tribes over the centuries, the effect is clearly seen. It should be noted, however, that the Omsk have very little communication with the other four tribes currently, both because the other four are owned by Nivemus and not Obsidian Islands and because of the water barrier that is the Omsk Bay.
