Dead Horses

The **Dead Horses** are a tribe from Dead Horse Point, living in Southeast and West Utah.

## Historical background

Originally exiled from a location east of the grand canyon, the dead horse tribe are great warriors whose skill in battle has allowed them to remain in control of the Colorado's northern river crossing, despite the fierce competition in the area. Their prowess has only grown since the first Legate of the Legion educated their warriors in legion doctrine,while the young eagerly followed his teachings, the elders remain hesitant to put their trust in this Legate and his Caesar.

As per our tribe's tradition, we must assure only our warrior class ever set foot outside of our villages. The wasteland is a cruel place, full of horrible creatures and savages. We must take extreme precaution in deploying our people, and so only warriors trained from birth may earn the honour of waging war for the tribe.

While it may be a mistake to break ancient tradition, we should consider increasing our fielded manpower. The tribe requires more of their own to defend itself, as such we shall consider deploying our most veteran pathfinders and hunters along with our warrior class, supporting them in their noble fight against the cruel wasteland.

Shamed and humbled by our enemies, we must seek refuge into the inner strength of our tribe. While it is deeply unsettling to resort to such measures, we must now force a general conscription on every first son and daughter of fighting age of every tribe member. It is a harsh decision not taken lightly, and we shall make sure to use them for a higher purpose.

The bloodthirsty savages are at our door. We are facing nothing less than the total annihilation of our way of life, as well as every member of our noble tribe. May our gods forgive us for what we will do, but we have no other choice than to send everyone into the fight, be them children barely able to swing a knife or their mother trying to protect them. The least we can do is deploy them together. May They have mercy upon our sinful souls, for our consciences will have none.
