G'Shul Culture

Driven out of their homelands far to the east, the Gryx of Anias have adapted to a wandering, nomadic life across the continent. As they spread across Anias, the G’Shul leave totem poles dotting the landscape. These totems always face easterly, in the direction of their lost ancestral homeland.

The Gryx refer to themselves as the G’Shul, or the homeless, and the name of their culture is taken from this as well. Many tribes have become traders over the years, and are often the only connection isolated communities have with the outside world.

Preferred Locations: The G’Shul have no preferred locations, other than their original homeland, the Eastern Steppes, to which they cannot return. They wander from town to town, from forest to forest, all across Anias. They travel all over Anias, often using brightly painted enclosed wagons or tents for shelter during their treks from one place to another.

Clothing & Decoration: In battle, the G’Shul prefer light leather armor, usually reinforced by small metal plates sewn into the lining. Everyday G’Shul clothing is simple and consists of sturdy leather trousers, or skirts for the women with a long sleeve shirt, and topped off with a sleeveless leather vest that goes down to mid-thigh. The vests may also be decorated in a variety of ways from adding beads, to enameling designs on the leather. Each vest is unique and reflects something about its wearer.

Demeanor: The G’Shul are a quiet peaceful people and dislike fighting when it is not needed. They tend to not trust any but other G’Shul tribes. The G’Shul refuse to teach any but other G’Shul their language, or how to read their message sticks.

Starting Languages: Taloc (S 6/W 5), Tarahiri Common (S 4/W 3)
