 ==Clan Kaj'Ilel==
-The Kaj’Ilel is a nomadic tribe that follows the spirit-god of the same name, the guardian of the Ilel River in northwestern Tyedu. The tribe is made up primarily of wandering fishermen and hunter-gatherers who rotate through a series of small staging posts along the Ilel River which they refer to as “nans.” Generally the tribesmen make the bulk of their living as trappers, selling their furs to the various surrounding tribes and to the nobles of the nearby northern provinces of the Kurathene Empire.

-The roots of the clan have been lost in the sands of time, however they have been known to trade with the border villages in Kurathene since the early days of the Imperial Era. The tribe follows the guidance of Kaj’Ilel closely, wandering along their nans with guidance by their shamans. The tribe members are primarily Lawful Good alignment, and there is a great deal of solidarity among the tribe’s members. The tribe is known to have peaceful and fair relations with the various villages it visits along its travels.
+The Kaj'Ilel are semi-nomadic Herdsmen and Fishermen. They have 4 small settlements called Nans along their migratory routes though these are barely more than staging posts. The Kaj'Ilel are renowned as tanners and, though few, Hunters and (particularly) Warriors are highly regarded among them for Kaj'Ilel has told them of 9 warrior gods who fought to protect them all from evil. Individually, members of the clan are pale skinned humans. Hair colour is invariably dark brown to jet black (until it greys) but eye colour varies across the full range. Males have large physiques and commonly stand over 6 feet tall. Females too are tall often reaching 6 feet but are much more slightly built.
-A unique facet of the Kaj’Ilel is the unique leather carapace armor that makes the tribal warriors into some of the most formidable in Tyedu, and gives them a distinctive appearance. The carapace armor is molded to fit each individual, and every warrior is given a full set of this unique armor when he reaches 16 years of age. Woven by an odd combination of fish scales, leather, and special bonding material, and then blessed by the tribe’s shaman, even a partial suit of this armor is in great demand among collectors.
+The clan leads an essentially peaceful existence moving herds from place to place as pastures allow. Their travels to the west are limited by the encroachment of the great white bears which are drawn to the river estuary by the fish. To the east, carnivorous beasts from the forests on the Galdos foothills enforce a limit on the movement of the herds. In the summer when the snows recede, the migration route may be further north but is always limited by the edge of the true Tundra. In the winter it is further south and, when the weather is particularly harsh, may even be on the southern bank of the river though the grazing here is more broken and the crossing dangerous. As a group, the clan has limited contact with other clans of Tyedu, with Galdosian dwarves or with the border villages of the Kurathene Empire that
