Wars of the Skeleton Shield

2.1

Even this region was affected by the climate change and the opportune soil became sparse, which led to vicious competition between the nomadic tribes for territory. The land only allowed for the support of a small handful of tribes, and this led to the legendary, near mythological, Wars of the Skeleton Shields. The stories still in circulation claim that this war lasted a millennia, but that is an unverified fact.

2.2

On the conclusion of the Skeleton Shield wars, four tribes secured habitable territory. They were the On’onath, the Dur’anath, the Skosopiurbe, and a tribe foreign to the Sallowsitte Cape called the Securians. It is alleged that the Securians invaded from the sea from the islands and originate from a completely separate cultural and linguistic group. Little is known of the tribes that were defeated. Some say they completely died out, some that they mended into the other tribes, others that they fled towards the mountains. There is one theory that says the defeated tribes became the Securians; as in they fled the Cape then returned centuries later as a new collective. This theory has its obvious holes.
