Kezankian Hillman From Shadizar Boxset Description: Along the eastern borders of Zamora is the Kezankian Mountains inhabited by a number of small tribes. These tribes are hostile to stranger and consist of lean, bearded barbarians with black eyes. Every clan wars with the other clans in long blood-feuds. They enjoy being close to those they ambushes to prevent their prey from having time to react to their attack. Culture: The Kezankian Hillman wear turbans, leather voluminous trousers and forked beards. They fight with tulwars. They live in a savage culture of blood-feuds and eternal clan wars. Names: These are essentially Arabic, examples include: Akkadan, Farouz, Basrakan, Djinar, Jbeil, Jhal, Karim, Ruballah and Tirjas. Religion: The savage Kezankian tribesmen worship primitive totemic deities and demons, such as the spirits of earth, air, water and fire. They believe their ancient gods are true and the gods of the Zamorians and other civilised people are false. They believe if they are cursed as a traitor, their spirits in the afterlife will wander for all time, trapped between this world and the next, alone except for other traitors and demons. Their religious needs are served by hundreds og Imallas (shamans) who carry word of ancient gods from clan to clan, safe from feud and battle and identified by their scarlet robes. The acolytes of Imallas wear black robes with scarlet, green and gold turbans. The term Imalla is appended to the end of the shaman's given name; Basrakan Imalla, for example. Cultural Features: All the following are Kezankian Cultural features. * +2 circumstance bonus to all Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Survival and Spot checks made in any hills and mountains. The Kezankian tribes know every inch of their native hills and rarely descend from them except to raid the richer lands below. * +1 Cultural bonus to Hide and Move Silently checks. Though the tribes are occasionally lead to open battle by a particularly charismatic chieftain, they prefer to attack their enemies by stealthy raids and midnight assassinations. * The Kezankian are sturdy folk and gain a +1 bonus hit point at 1st level. * The Kezankians seem to be at war with every other tribe as well as the Zamorians and Turanians, as a result the Kezankians gain Toughness feat for free at 1st level. A Kezankian Character therefore begins play with two bonus hit points. Background Skills: Climb, Hide, Knowledge (Local: Kezankian Mountians), Move Silently. Favoured Class: Barbarian. Prohibited Class: Martial Disciple, Noble, Noble Cavalry, Pirate. Automatic Languages: Kezankian. Bonus Languages: Brythunian, Zamorian, Hyrkanian, Shemitish. . |
