=Who are the Glacians?=
*Glacians are the northern cousins of Mobians, being taller, and consisting of many arctic or sub-arctic like species that hail from the north pole, the Glacians had lived at a specific point of Glacier Peak, which had then been destroyed in a conflict between Sonic the Hedgehog and co. and the Eggman Empire, after which, the land had been wrought devastation which had forced the departure of some Glacians, and had taken the lives of others. After one of the Chiefs' sons had been blown to the mainland of Mobius, it took about a decade or so of attempted communication for the son to reach his family again. The Tribes were in disarray, and needed a place to finally reconstruct their living area once more. It was noted that the son found the Fow Toth Township and had integrated himself as an amiable ally (of sorts, at least), which the Glacians proceeded to settle a few kilometers away, and slowly expanded. Soon enough, many territories started to be populated by the Glacian folk, although eventually with the introduction to technology at Fow Toth, they had slowly grown to a ruthless empire.
The Glacian Empire often found themselves being too wide to be called Tribes, and infighting, although uncommon, had still happened in bids for struggle. Although they were more likely to unite against one another, there is once every now and then in a rare occasion to fight for who gets the spoils of battle thereafter. The Tribes had improper names safe for the elite, lthough in the end they started to be recognized more often by the various colors each tribe had worn, rather that being one Empire as a whole. As a result, whether or not the Glacians were said to be under one banner, truly was into complete debate. The tribes were also separate from the elements that they used with their weaponry, as well as what kind of weapons that they tended to use, and vehicles that they drove. Regardless, the Empire's military was given a singular name, Windstalkers. Although the manner of word was seen as offensive slang by the Empire, the term had eventually grew onto them with mixed feelings.
Eventually enough throughout the war-waging reign came to a sudden halt with the death of the son, which afterwards, a Glacian not from the north pole had taken control, wielding a Glacian artifact and claiming the right to rule.. Since then, military activity was still present, but there was lack of wars being led, leaving the Glacian Nation to a slight calm. Unfortunately, how the leader says goes, and soon enough, claims of finding reports of a chosen group of warriors that will lead the Glacian Nation to a golden era had led to the once-proud nation to being deceived, the Glacian capital of Orihara was then invaded by numerous people clothed in black and white, the same as the warriors that did arrive to help the Glacians, claiming to be the Trinity Organization. Soon enough, war had broken out, and the sudden disappearance of the new leader gave much to speculation, but implied something much more dark and sinister, that, or it's just the average goers' imagination.
==The "Tribes", otherwise known as Cohorts==
Those listed here are the most notable, but upon discovery of more tribes will be put down in any case or circumstance.
===The Firstborne===
The ever recognizable shade of an icy blue and a gold or white were often those that traditional Glacians wore. Being true to their heritage, these Glacians had adhered to the element that they had a supreme resistance to compared to the other races of Mobius, the cold. Not only would weapons be made of diamond-like never melting ice, but the firearms they eventually got their hands on would shoot ice shards instead of bullets, not threatening to be only a fragile source of ammo, but also wickedly deadly when launched at such a velocity. Firstborne firearms seem to lack a sort of gunpowder-igniting firing mechanism, and instead, seem to use a durable, elastic-like component that rubberbands itself to fling the shards at such velocities to where it'd easily be considered a crossbow of some sort, flinging icicles to remind any enemy the realistic brutality of winter. Although with their traditional knowledge comes with the loss of other things, a Firstborne usually lacks the understanding of "What is a car?", that, and would take long marches only to make small, hidden camps and wage guerrilla warfare.
===The Ashen===
Despite the lack of any sort of variable warmth, they Glacians still needed to mind their limits, as spending a long time in a snowstorm could even be deadly to them. The Ashen were recognized by their colors of ash black and crimson, as well as occasionally orange. Not only they made fire to cook hearty meals and create light in tunnels, they also used their pyres as a means to a funeral, as digging would prove inefficient on such frozen soil. When coming to Mobius, the Ashen were more or less viewed as crude pyromaniacs and anarchists, which came true to a fault. Not only the Ashen enjoy fast-firing weapons, fast moving war vehicles, and a good fire every now and then, they became, within the Empire, one of the biggest explosives manufacturers, enough to where anything an Ashen Brother or Ashen Sister had carried, would be more or less street-illegal. Anything from molotovs to complex cluster bombs. The Ashen are often recognized for employing the strategy of Blitzkrieg. Unlike other Glacians, the Ashen can actually fare well in the desert.
===Ironworkers===
Many a Glacian had been captivated by the new appearance of technology that was never seen. More or less, the new synthetic materials that could be made experimenting, easily recognized as pretty much the Research and Development department, the Ironworkers had set out to study rather than cling to the traditional works of the Firstborne or the rowdy try-things-first-and-go-with-it nature of the Ashen. Things with the Ironworkers were practical, if it didn't work, fix it. If you can't fix it, jeryrig it to your liking so it's technically fixed. The Ironworkers produced much of the vehicles for the rest of the tribes, which they sold and monopolized to quite a degree, that aside to using weapons that shot electric orb bursts, and flying machines that could house two to three squads of troopers, and could still fly by quick enough to make it difficult to trace shots. The Ironworkers wore dark purple armor with teal lighting, giving a futuristic and technological feel. Despite their airships being perfect for Blitzkrieg, the Ironworkers often take a lax, iron-wall defense strategy, chewing up enemy attackers, and only advancing after each and every single one of the enemy was rendered silent.
===Orderkeepers===
Despite what their name implies, the Orderkeepers are not any sort of police, but are instead servants of time and space. What is thought to've been a long dead order had always existed, although the seclusion of the Orderkeepers leave much to've learned about them, were it not for the Trinity Organization. Since their "excursion" to Mobius, they have but lived in the highest mountain peaks, hidden.
===Starpaw Corps===
For any Mobian that wanted to join the Glacian effort, the Starpaw Corps was formed as a sort of Foreign Levy to be called upon, they wore the colors of a night sky, often depicting the stars in their designs. Even though despite this official marking, members of the corps were pretty much permitted to wear whatever they want, and despite the widespread and simplicity of what they're called, the Starpaw Corps comes in too numerous a shade and color to be defined for anything that they've done.
===Grim Cohort===
Best known as the Black Operations, wearing colors of gray, dark green, dark turquoise, the Black Operations, although more of officially named as the Grim Cohort, was the personal guard of the son before he had died due to supposed Trinitarian treachery. The Cohort was made up of the best of each tribe or the Starpaw Corps that had decided to join when called upon and thought to've been proven worthy, as a result, the Cohort is a joint tribe between the others, and would often trump the rest in the cases of internal strife and conflict. The Cohort had but been recently formed, and as a result, would probably even never be considered a tribe, but still called one regardless. The only Cohort that doesn't find a presence in this one would be the Seeing Order.
===The Seeing Order===
Heavily religious, xenophobic, and clad in colors of whatever patron God they serve, the Seeing Order claims to have a direct link to their Dragon Gods, and proclaim their Gods' will upon expanding. As much as it is to Swiftwind and Co.'s dismay, for the most part, what they hear is really what it is and as it is. As a result, this makes the Dragon Paragon's intents known for the most part. And rarely if ever does a member of said Paragon make an appearance, which makes the Seeing Order, despite their lack of technology, and just only using only the most basic of old time firearms, a potential regional threat. Whether sacrifices are made to the God they worship is entirely questionable. It may happen seeing some of the Paragon are appeased by sacrifices. Despite the Seeing Orders' lack of use of both vehicles and modern firearms, they instead make up for it by divine power, their own will, and most of all, the blessing of their paragon.
=Trivia=
*The Ironworkers, Firstborne, Ashen, and Grim Cohort had originally been named after the factions of PlanetSide, although since the resurgence of the series via PlanetSide 2, the groups had then been renamed to their current forms, and their colors changed.
*Blue originally was the common denominating color used for the Glacians on a map, but since the idea of different tribes capable of infighting became a thing, now, different colors on the map would then be separated by each tribe.
