## History

By the unaware, the Kasari are a tribal society much like any of the other tribals. In North East Alshari the Kasari live at "Bransi", deep in the woods where no one outside of their culture is allowed to visit. They maintain close ties to the Alka Alon often assisting each other in various ways, but the Narsai Wilderlords of the area consider the Kasari as nothing more then vagabonds and thieves.

When the Alshari claimed the northern Wilderlands for their Dutchy and started felling trees and digging for Iron, the Kasari fought to keep them out of their own lands and did not submit to the Duke's rules or laws.

Because the Kasari are excellent archers with the stealth and cunning of the woodland animals, the knighted and horsed wilderlords were never able to defeat them so they were finally left alone.

## Origins

During *Journeymage*, Pentandra figures out their origins.

She comes to the conclusion that they were training camps for young boys and girls, but when Perwyn sunk, everyone was too frantic that they were unable to retrieve the children and their teachers that were at these camps.

> " . . . the Kasari were originally a quasi-military order designed to teach important life skills to young people, boys and girls.”

But here, in the very first leaves, you can see the legend:* ‘***Originally Published By Callidore Central Council, 178 AC*.**” … *Below the Original Published date, you see the date and place of the first copy:* ***Lem Siddons Station, Kuline Council . . . of the Southern Kuline Callidore Authority Scouting Association Reserve***.”

## Overview

> “*The Kasari were strange. They were neither *Imperial* nor Narasi, but had lived in the forests of the Wilderlands long before either culture explored there. But they aren’t your average tribal culture, either. For one thing they are all literate. They learn to read Old Perwynese and Narasi as part of the rites they undergo as youth. Even though they have their own private language as a people that few outside of their groves ever learn, they were all conversant in both Narasi and Perwynese. As a culture, their people continuously train and learn. They were herders and hunters, not grain farmers. They had no peasants and kept no serfs or villeins. Nor did they raid their neighbors for slaves or cattle, as many mountain tribes do*.”

The Kasari have two main settlement or camps, Bransei (Brown Sea) in Alshari Wilderlands and Kasar in Castali Wilderlands, but originally there were 18 reserves set aside for them. Some were overran with the *Narasi* invasion and some were lost track of.
