The Odonine

The Odonine are a warrior society that call home to the largest mountain range in Arcadia, Fang. Each clan is led by a warleader and guided by shamans who are the keepers of the people's history via oral tradition.

They are often seen as exotic barbarians or savages by the tribes of then plains like the Odsier. They are divided into many clans with each group identified through their scarification tattoos. These scars often depict the history of their families going back a hundreds of generations. Rivalries between clans are fierce with some clans recognising others as their blood-sworn enemies with feuds going back many generations, often over perceived besmirched honour. Duels to the death between rival clan members are common and tolerated at clan gatherings. Disputes and questions of leadership can be settled by ritual combat to the death.

The Odonine live in tents, tipis, and yurts made of wicker and hide as well as using the natural cave systems of Fang for their villages, found among its valleys and sharp inclined cliffs. They are known for their use of crudely made axes, knives, picks and slings. They are known for their odd sense of humour and their hatred for the people's of the plains like the Odsier and the nomadic tribes of the Desert of Skulls.
