The Tribes

These are the tribes in Sutekh. For one reason or another, these people have rejected the lifestyle of the settlements and cities, and instead lead often nomadic lives.

The Dons
The Dons are a clan of Nomads. They wander the desert, live off the land, trade what and when they need to, and generally keep to themselves. Despite this, they can be regarded as one of the more friendly clans. Their main holding are the Crawlers they travel within and upon. Ancient vehicles, once upon a time they served as rugged bulk transport for both goods and people. Using these machines and a handful of lighter desert vehicles, the Dons move to a place, linger for anywhere between a couple of days to a month, then pack up and leave for someplace else. Sometimes they will stop at a local settlement for trade purposes, turning in things they have found or salvaged from the desert as payment for supplies they need that can't be found easily.

The Hanu
The Hanu were one of the less 'pure' tribes of Sutekh, as they were descended neither from escaped prisoners back during the Colonial Days, nor were they tribals exported wholesale from another world. They were, in fact, 'civilized' people who banded together in order to better survive in a harsh world. Comprised entirely of primates, they formed during the first years after the Dominion left to, as their leader put it, "preserve the cultural and genetic identity of the primate peoples of the Dominion." To many this was seen as a rather radical view. After all, speciesism was an archaic notion, why should primates be considered special? Thus, most others ignored their Hanu and their strange ways, content to trade with them but otherwise leave them alone.

The Mohawks
Just a stub for now.

The Makah
Imprisoned on Sutekh early in the planet’s prison career, the Makah are one of the older bands of souls to still roam the desert. The reasons for their exile to his place have long been lost to the march of time. Throughout their history on Sutekh the Makah have risen and fallen in power. Most recently, they’ve fallen, and done so greatly. At one point, the tribe controlled the entire Sea of Sand, west to what is currently Muddy Waters, and south to the Grey Canyons. This reign lasted for just a few decades before the other tribes of the desert began to chip away at the Makah territory. When the Makah had lost half their former holdings, they forged an alliance with one of the other top tribes in the region: the Sanghaim. This alliance held true until very recently…
