The Nabarask Tribe

== The Nabarask Tribe ==
“We grieve not the dying of old stars, which feed the sky yet to pass. We rejoice for the warmth of the old star, and walk the earth upon which the dust settles and becomes one. From dust did we emerge, and to dust shall we return.”
* Nabarask the Great
In the days of old, when orcish tribes raided and pillaged in the example of Dugmaghord. When war came, towns and villages were sacked and the innocent were left dead or displaced. When roaming bands laid claim to territory, tribal war became a reinforced culture. Stories tell of an orc named Nabarask who united wayward orcs from tribes the world over on a path to carve out a new home.
Named after this orc, the Nabarask are a tribe that live by a code of peace and solidarity with Avalian people as one who walk the land together. The Tribe of Nabarask believe the world of Avalia and its surrounding universe are one living creature that extends into living beings we call people. In the same way a tree is a living being that bears fruits, the fruit eventually decay and die to return to the same earth as the tree, so too is the world of Avalia, a living thing that bears life that returns to the earth in time. 
The belief that everything is connected is intertwined with tribe’s fealty to pacifism. They believe that harm should not be done to another creature unless one’s own life is truly at risk. Killing is a heavy act not to be taken lightly and though they do not shun an orc who takes another life, the tribe teaches their children from a young age that violence is a rarely broken cycle once begun.
The Nabarask tribe is a smaller tribe with around 500 members that live in the southwestern area of Avalia. The tribe mostly relies on farming the majority of the year, gradually hunting more frequently as the seasons become colder. They are a fairly isolated group; travelers rarely arrive to trade with them and many of them leave to embark to larger cities to establish trade. These orcs prefer traveling to centers of trade, since most people are not tempted to travel to the domain of orcs due to their stigma.
The martial traditions of Nabarask orcs consist mostly of hand-to-hand fighting or training with polearms and longbows. The weapons they fight with are designed to either deal non-fatal blows or kill with as little trouble as possible. Such traditions are archived using solar boxes and studied constantly by both elders and students.
== Bond Rites ==
Viewed as a bastardization of the standard orc rites due to their nature. Instead of slaying a creature to attain a piece of their power, the Nabarask orcs form deep bonds with creatures to produce the same outcome. This ability takes more time to develop but bonding with the creature grants these orcs more than power, but faithful companions as well.
