	From its early times as an abandoned population of war widows, Jechrani society has depended on women banding together and helping one another. The earliest groups were no more than small bands of nomadic women looking for food. By the time Myleah was born and lived (300 A.O.D.), the whole country had organized into small independent tribes, such as Myleah's own Rentha tribe. The founding of the city of [[[Myleah]]] produced a profound impact on tribal development, and since the city was located in a northern location, its impact was greater on nearby tribes, but lesser on tribes to the south, and especially tribes which existed in the place which is now the [[The Wastelands]]. Today, tribal structure in Jechran varies from the northern to the southern portions of the country. The southern portion has remained consistently more tribal and formed tribal groups known as "Akvates". Even certain [[Eshala]] groups have banded together and adopted the akhvate structure, though not all of them do so. Meanwhile, the northern portion of the country has experienced moderate gentrification over the centuries. These tribes have formed themselves into "Houses' with nobility structures that oversee the more tribally-minded commoners. For both akvates and houses, there are no requirements for genetic inheritance of titles. In most cases, a woman can earn noble title and even citizenship in an akvate or house. Daughters do not automatically inherit rank from their mothers, consequently, and they must earn their place. It is therefore common in Jechrani society, both in the north and the south, for women from outside the tribe to gain citizenship and leapfrog their way to the top of the tribe through action.

	Long before the Fairy War, Jechran was part of the original Orcish nation of [[Dobrekan]]. During this time period, the major inhabitants were Orcs; however, they were largely at peace with the humans and elves of the surrounding nations. A brisk trade made all sides prosper, and huge communities of humans and elves sprang up in the forests of the Orcish nation with the complete permission of the Orcs.

	Dwelling in the forest were small populations of fairies as well, both of the O'Ma and Titanian variety. When the Fairy War started, there were quite a few small skirmishes fought on the soils of Dobrekan, though it was never as devastating as elsewhere on Avlis, such as in the forests of T'Nanshi. Still, as the old stories relate, the Orcs decided to capitalize on the Fairy War by attempting to wipe out both fairy races at once in an effort to shift the tides of good and evil on Avlis more towards their liking. Some however, will relate that the Orcs did not like the fairies fighting on their soil, and when the Fairy War grew too large and became harder to contain, the Orcs rallied to defend themselves by attempting to expel both fairy races from their land.

	The Great War was the most devastating event ever to befall the world to date.

	Almost no consideration is given to human and elven distinctions. There are tribes that are largely human, and tribes that are largely elven, however they all follow the same precepts of female dominance and faith in Dre'Ana, who is herself a half-elf. Human babies are often traded to elven tribes, and vice versa. Consequently, Jechran has the highest concentration of hybrid human-elves in the whole world. Many tribes consist totally of halfelven women who have slowly mixed their blood over the past two millennia. This is not considered a bad thing among the tribes, because the most important concept is survival, not race. Race generally does not matter among the tribes of Jechran.
