Mikhnu

Mikhnu is a mountain-covered nation predominately inhabited by shape-shifters and morphers. The mantra of the Miks is to never place value on anything you cannot carry with you -- for the beasts of Mikhnu are so large and destructive that the Miks must migrate routinely to avoid their path. Even with such precautions taken and precise tracking by use of magic and technology, it is still possible for an entire camp to be destroyed while its people are away hunting or gathering supplies. In Mikhnu, it is a perpetual war against nature, and the Miks themselves see being soldiers in this war as their ancestral calling. If they do not keep the enormous monsters of the mountain in check, the monsters could migrate out of Mikhnu's borders and destroy unprepared settlements in other countries.
Because Mikhnu is so ravaged by eternal conflict against the montain beasts, its people tend to not allow themselves time to properly mourn the dead. Their bonds with one another are strong, if only for the necessity of relying on one another for survival, but they might be regarded as callous and cold to strangers, especially ungrateful foreigners who do not see the importance of their work. It is said that the Miks are always only one step ahead of death; even if they survive a hunt against a mountain beast that has come too close to the borders, they will surely know someone who perished.
