Le Matagi

*World Creation - Present*

Le Matagi has long been a beautiful wilderness which welcomes all races. Its population has formed a multitude of tribes with the occasional small hamlets. While at different points tribes have waged wars over resources or honor according to its inhabitants Le Matagi is a peace filled land.
### Rise of Rebellion

#### Invaders of Fire

*1705-1739*

In 1705 Tryllek began colonizing the southern coast. The local inhabitants did not have issue sharing land or even with the missionaries that began to hound them about a god some already knew. The issue was political, colonists spat upon their neighbors while accepting their welcome gifts. The peoples of Le Matagi had never before faced such hatred and discrimination for daring to be birthed non-human.
Tensions grew as the colonies did and the Le Matagi peoples began to fight back instead of turning the other cheek to their new neighbors. Conflicts became more direct and violent until one night seven tribes woke to their homes aflame. The tribes were pushed from their lands by a wall of flame.
#### Uniter of Tribes

*1739-1772*

When the flames subsided the refugees had no choice but to push north. Such mass migration caused conflict among the local tribes with whom they now needed to share resources. And thus in addition to fighting the ever progressing colonizers, they began to fight amongst themselves. Individually each tribe was no match for the Trylleki army which continued to take land from more tribes.
Legend says that Brave Maleko Opunui of StoneBeach sat with the tribe leaders and promised if they worked together for a short time, sharing resources they might push the invaders back and regain their land. For once the displaced leaders agreed with those still had their land. They gave Maleko Opunui “Uniter of Tribes” resources and warriors to fight.
#### The Wall of Wind and Rain

*1775-Present*

Under the guidance of General Maleko Opunui “Uniter of Tribes” the tribes pushed the invaders back. They forced the Trylleki army back to the scorched line that had once driven the Le Matagi people from their homes. Here they held. A treaty was called forth, Tryllek could no longer afford their war effort. If the natives did not cross the scorched line, Tryllek would not attack, and vice versa.
The treaty was agreed to but this did not sit well with General Maleko. He ordered casters to rotate watches at the border so a wall of flames could never surprise their peoples again. When casters weren’t on watch they often tried to train others. On occasion their watch is tested by a small bout of flame trying to see how far it can go, but they douse it quickly. The peace is enjoyed but both sides are apprehensive of the other.

##### Cultural Philosophies

* Not all tribes support the ‘’Wall of Wind and Rain’’ treaty. Many northern tribes that were unaffected by the war refuse to contribute to it.
* The wind carries secrets.
	+ As wind is ever present on the planes even druidic tribes place importance in wind. And it’s rumored the planar entrance to Levegő’s domain is either on the planes or in mountains bordering the planes.

* Tryllek also refers to Le Matagi as ‘’The Land of the Rejects’’
