Flaming Horns Tribe

*"One day, we shall return to our previous land. Glory is still in the fire, and the fire of the scorching horns will never be put out."* -**Zan**

## **Overview**

The tribal totem of the Flaming Horns Tribe was like the horns of a *dicerorhinus*, but the horns of the totem were much longer, with flames surrounding it.

The Flaming Horns tribesmen admires the strong. Powerful totem warriors may receive the expectation and worship from the entire tribe. For most of the times, people prefer simple and easy solutions when faced with troubles, and that solution is namely violence. In the tribe, there’s a tradition that all problems could be solved by violence. Except for fighting each other, there was a simpler way to compete, that was by showing their game. Normally, better game represented a stronger warrior.

No fixed timelines were settled for warriors to train, they could arrange their training as they pleased as long as they don't miss the hunt.

## **Territory**

The tribe was roughly divided into three main districts, and the stronger a warrior is, the higher the district he would be living in. The mountaintop district was the central spot of the tribe. The tribe’s fire pit was also located there, and it was the coldest area.

Four important houses were on the summit. They were: The house that the Shaman used, the house that the Chief used for meetings, the house that served as the general office of the tribal leaders, and the medicine house. These four stone houses were separated in four directions, and if you connected the opposite stone houses, you would draw a cross. It was said that the four houses were connected to the fire pit, as they were warm even during winter times. As for how they were all connected to the fire pit, it was a secret between the Shaman and the Flame.

In the mountains where the tribe was located, there was a natural-formed salt pond.

## **History**

People in the tribe valued girls more over boys, and only those families which adopted girls could get subsidy from the tribe. Compared to boys, fewer girls would awaken their totemic powers, and even nearly one third of them could not awaken their totemic powers for the rest of their lives. However, the tribe wouldn't treat them badly because of that. Instead, girls were being treated far better than boys. So even being an orphan girl, she would be easily adopted by a family. And because of the reason mentioned above, no girl ever lived in the orphan cave and the kids living in there were all boys.

There was a growing gulf in the tribe between the strong and the weak. The development of the mountaintop and the mountain foot districts must‘ve been the preconceived plan of the tribe's ancestors. When people on the mountain foot district thought about how to obtain more food, the tribesmen of the mountaintop were wondering about how to gain more strength. When there’s no threat from the other tribes, naturally there’s internal strife. Some were sidelined, but it was just not obvious on the surface.

Fishing and hunting were often combined, and since there wasn’t much luck in fishing yet, the tribe mainly relied on hunting, added by the lack of skills on domestication and farming. That was also the main cause of the food crisis within the tribe.
