General Appearance Demeanor Some History Noyakir Tribe Info The Noyakir once made their home in a vast system of caves in the northern mountains of Othard, but due to a major cave-in, its remains have begun to scatter. The cave-dwellers, once miners and crafters, fishermen and look-outs, now have only rubble and broken homes. The wanderers, once hunters and traders, now have no place to which they can return. Those who are of able-body have made their decision either to stay, to search for another home, or to join a new tribe. Google Doc (open for comments and suggestions) Show text Present day: (As far as my character knows. He was out at the time of the cave-in. If you want to RP someone who was there and add details for the cave-in, please feel free to contact me) While minor cave-ins are not rare in the Noyakir caves, there was recently a very large one which caused the death and injury of most cave-dwellers inside at the time. Many Noyakir believe the cave-in was caused by the tribe's growing proficiency with trading, given their belief that the caverns were dug by a race of giant oliphant-like beetles placed on the land by the gods to punish the elder tribes for their greed. As a result, many of the remaining Noyakir cave-dwellers would prefer to go back to the southern deserts, to rejoin the Uyagir. The wanderers, however, mostly want to rebuild and return to their established lifestyle. Each Noyakir must decide for themselves if they wish to stay, search for another suitable home or attempt to join another tribe. History: Originating from the cave-dwelling Uyagir tribe of southern Othard, the Noyakir were a hopeful group who believed their network of caves to be infinite, connected to all other caves, if only in need of a little digging. They set out for the northern range in hopes of expanding the tribe's territory by digging a straight passageway between their old home and what would become their new one. The Noyakir settled in a vast cavern among the beginnings of the northern mountains and set to work. In these new caves lay untapped veins of ore, and it wasn't long before the Noyakir realized they had stumbled upon something useful. This led the tribe to divide once again, out of necessity. Wildlife is a little more scarce in the mountains, so while most of the tribe spent their time digging away, looking for ore and hidden passageways towards the Uyagir, others would wander the steppes, trading ore and trinkets for supplies, as well as gathering and hunting all they could to sustain their brothers and sisters back home. Lifestyle: The tribe consists of two main groups, the cave-dwellers and the wanderers. Children are raised mostly in the caves and usually taught some of the local craft. When they reach the cusp of adulthood, the young are brought on a journey with the wanderers and taught how to survive, hunt and trade. Upon their return, they are allowed to choose which path they would like to pursue. The path of a wanderer is a more traditional one for the Xaela. The wanderers travel in groups, the composition and size of which will vary depending on the goal of the particular journey. Most of these journeys will take several weeks, if not months Some wanderers prefer to focus on the hunt, and thus will pack lightly and travel in small groups. Others prefer to seek out friendly tribes with whom to trade, requiring more manpower to carry goods from place to place. Due to the "earthy" nature of most of their wares, they will sometimes even bring some of the few beasts of burden in the tribe's possession with them on their journeys. On the other hand, the cave-dweller's life is relatively comfortable. While many work with pick in hand in the deepest reaches of the caves, several others spend their days making trinkets, raising young and fishing in the underground pools nearer the surface. There are even some who spend most of their time outside, hunting for mountain game and keeping watch for hostile tribes. The cave: Located near the base of the northern range of mountains in Othard, the area surrounding the cave is cool and wooded. The mouth of the cave itself was originally somewhat obscured by trees, but over time wood was required for support in new passageways, and the nearby flora has thinned somewhat. The caverns are formed mostly in marble, and, like the Uyagir, the Noyakir believe them to have been carved by giant oliphant-like beetles. The majority of the Noyakir settlement lies a little beyond the entrance, almost out of sight from the outside, if not for a faint glowing at the end of a dark passageway. While a more permanent variation of yurts used to suffice for housing in the main chambers, many cave-dwellers have chosen to dig out their own living quarters from the stone walls. There are pools of water of varying sizes throughout the caverns. In the living areas, these pools are often used for bathing. Deeper in, the pools are mostly used by fishermen, but it is not uncommon to find energetic youths playing in the water on occasion. Most of the cave is unsupported, the Noyakir trusting in the architectural integrity of the creatures they believe to have dug out the place, but the miners have learned to put up support beams when creating new passages.

Jakatolui always got the impression her parents favoured him, so she always tried to show him up whenever she could, even pulling pranks on him and trying to frame him when she got caught. After a while he caught on and spoiled her fun by being hard to track down, hiding in the caves where she found it too musty. After her first journey, she never saw Qaratolui again. She figures he's probably still hiding in the caves somewhere. Those Further Rumors ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard) ■ "'Nother one of them horned lizardfolk came through here the other day. Seemed pretty energetic, almost got in a fight with the barkeep. What is the deal with those things?" -- Confused peddler ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "That smith sold me a faulty shield! I'd have complained, but when I went over there she gave me the meanest look. Are those horns of hers real?" -- Frightened patron ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "Did you say... Jakatolui? Any woman going by that name is probably bad news. I'd stay away from her if I were you." -- Nervous auri wanderer Player Character Rumors (( Feel free to add some!)) ■ "~" -- ~ ■ "~" -- ~ RP Hooks and Potential Connections General ■ Tribe ■ If your character has ever ventured near the northern mountains of Othard, they might have heard of or even met some of the Noyakir tribe's traders. ■ If your character was actually part of the Noyakir tribe, then you probably know who Jakatolui is. Or at least her family. Currently Looking For ICly ■ "Clients." No, not that kind! Jakatolui sells her wares as a smith. They are usually pretty shoddy, but she doesn't know that! ■ Suppliers. She's only very modestly skilled at gathering her own materials, so someone willing to sell her mats for cheap would be perfect. ■ People to buy her drinks. She likes to have fun, but makes no money selling garbage. Don't expect an automatic invitation to spend the entire evening with her, however. She plays by her own rules. OOCly ■ Some friends! She's pretty loud so meeting people probably won't be difficult, but finding people who tolerate her antics might be rare. ■ Haters. Yep. Au Ra are suddenly popping up everywhere, and I don't expect everyone to like it. If your character's got a bone to pick with the pointy weirdos, feel free to yell at my little troublemaker. Though she may bite.
