The people:
– The Nogon Tribe is probably the friendliest of all tribes. Travellers met along the way are welcomed with open arms and invited to stay with them for as long as they want. Knowing how harsh the desert can be the tribe’s people always have a few extra rations on them to share with hungry and thirsty strangers. Be prepared to have your ears chewed off though, as they love to tell their stories to everyone willing to listen.
– Food and water are very rare ressources in the desert. While insects and meat from animals such as lizards or other desert dwellers are a bit easier to come by, the tribe also tries to gather as many edible plants and fruits from around the watersources they pass as possible to give their diet some more variety. Water is taken from these watersources as well, but they are not the only source of water. Through the generations the knowledge of how to find water in seemingly impossible places is passed down from parents to children.
– Travelling mostly during the evening and morning hours due to the more comfortable temperatures the tribe heavily relies on the stars and their constellations to navigate the desert. They know in and out which stars to follow to reach a certain destination, in which nights some of the stars may glow even lighter than usual and much more. Being this dependant on the stars it should be no surprise that Umbru, the Goddess of the Moon and Stars is the tribe’s favourite god.
– Stars are not only used for navigation however, but also for storytelling. Members of the Nogon Tribe are known to be excellent storytellers and if someone can turn a simple stroll into the adventure of someone’s lifetime, it’s them. Every star constellation found in the night sky and known to the Tribe has its own story. These stories are not only told for fun though! Each of them also contains an important lesson that is meant to help people in all sorts of situations, be it survival or a moral dilemma.
– The relationship between the tribe’s people and their beasts is a very close one. They are seen as part of the family and get treated as such going as far as allowing them inside their tents to share the cool on a hot day or the warmth in a cold night. It is not unusual to see them guarding the little children while the parents are either building the tents, are out hunting or in search of water.
Their habitat:
– They live in the desert
– Their tribe is nomadic:
– To make transport and building / dismantling easier they live in tents made out of leather and or linens
– Usually they travel from watersource to watersource
