N'vet (Term)

A title of respect given to another Sime.
Nivet is the name of the biggest Sime Territory in North America at the time of First Channel ( -533 Unity Calendar).
Origins of N'Vet
'The first Sime Territory was born when a gang of Freeband Raiders, lead by a sime by the name of Nivet, captured an entire town full of Gens and settled down for the winter. This, and later adjoining Sime Territories came to be know as Nivet Territory, named after this leader.
Everywhere in Nivet Territory, the term of respect, to indicate an owner of land (granted of course by The Nivet him/herself, or the successors) was N'vet, referring to the chief of the Freeband Raiders who granted his/her minions land rights.'
