Namgiin Tribal Information

The Namgiin, sometimes known as the 'swamp', or 'muck' tribe are a small collective of Xaela that prefer to hide, and live in peace. Originally, it is believed that the first of their kind formed shortly after Nhaama, and Azim left the mortal world. A group of Xaela were unable to understand why peace between the Xaela and Raen was possible, but Xaela continued to fight among themselves. With a belief that Nhaama abhors the violence of the Steppe, the Namgiin were formed. They originally chose the color green to represent their tribe, as it is a color typically associated with peace, growth, and safety. However, it later became a very functional color for hiding.

All Namgiin are green, a forced change of their natural skin, and a long standing tradition with the tribe. At the age of two, every tribe member will start consuming a brew known as 'Nogoon' three times a day after every meal. In two to three cycles, their skin alteration is dramatic enough, and they are seen as being reborn. To compliment their new color, they will also paint their scales, and dye their hair similar hues.

Members of the tribe do not live in yurts, instead digging simple burrows to house themselves. Over time, these simple burrows will become interconnected through a series of tunnels. Namgiin dress in simple furs, without the use of artificial colors. Their hunters known to strip down to minimal clothing, coating themselves in mud, and utilizing local foliage to better blend with their environment.

When threatened, all but their soldiers will take shelter within the burrows; Fighters laying in wait to defend their home. If a conflict can be avoided, this would be the end of it. If unavoidable, when the moment is right, they will strike from all angles in a surprise ambush; Bursting forth from tall grass, foliage, and mud pits. To a would be attacker, it is as if the earth itself is rising up to punish them.

Until now, the Namgiin have been content avoiding other tribes, and remaining hidden. Recent events have definitely changed this. Now few in number, and the Mol having managed to take control of the Steppe, they emerge with hopes and prayers of peace.
