Rhorden

==General==
Rhorden consists of a large plain, an extension of the northern steppes which has slightly better climate. The Misniuil (MIS-nyu-il) Plains provide a large amount of game for the clans of Rhorden, and a large space for each to call their own. They do not venture into the woods that border the plains on the east or west. They sometimes head south through the Misniuil Gap across the river into the Basin, but only a few clans can be found that far south. Most of the time the clans are in the plains, or heading north to face the danger in the steppes.

== Government and Culture ==
Rhorden is a land of nomadic clan-bound peoples.  All inhabitants of Rhorden are great riders of bird or horse or other beast of mount.  Each clan has its own particular riding animal that it will use.  The ability of a person to ride a specific animal determines to which clan they belong.  The clans of Rhorden raid each other for food or slaves, but they do not hold grudges or openly war against each other.  Even though the clans are mostly independent, they have been known to join with tribes of Frostmark on raids into Icereach to oppose the Frost, Ice and Night Giants who pose a threat to all.
The clans of Rhorden mostly live off the land, but they do trade with towns in Frostmark, Calandiren and Balmorien if something vital is needed.
Almost all of the clans of Rhorden are shamanistic, worshiping animal manifestations associated with their clan’s riding mount. Although the animal manifestations are their clan god, all clans worship the Guardian Gods with special, primary worship for Sylvana, and the Children God, Chanahn. So important is the land and the clan animals, that Sylvana and Chanahn are held above all other gods to the point where foreigners should not speak the names of other gods in the same sentence as their heralded two.
