Our oral tradition claims that the original tribes formed during the time of Grazhir's fall, though there is little proof of such a claim. As our title suggests, we are the people of the steppe: It is here that we tend our herds, hunt our game, and migrate with the seasons under the light of the moons."		:Cherulisa says, "The Nomads of the Arid Steppe are one people and one tribe, forged by the peace of Kir Dor'na'torna.

			'''Ways'''
			:Cherulisa says, "Dangerous. Even if the Naming Ritual makes it easier to navigate and cross between the planes, terrible and violent things have stalked the conduits since that day. If you must know more about them, you should speak to the mages of Throne City."

			'''Tribes'''
			:Cherulisa says, "There are some who exalt the individuality of the tribes, but I do not. Just as the Moon Mage Guild threatens to slide back to the days of isolated and threatened sects, I will not let the one people of the Nomads return to the fractured and warlike tribes. That is the way of the false Kir and his Bonedancers."

			'''Benesu'''
			:Cherulisa says, "In the old days, the Benesu were the wealthiest of the tribes, and were constantly besieged because of it. They created powerful Perception and telekinetic magic to fend off poachers. The Benesu spear, though it is nothing more than brightly painted wood and iron, is one of our greatest symbols of tribal violence."

	'''Bonedancers'''		'''Bonedancers'''

			'''Chagur'''
			:Cherulisa says, "Too much drama and too much blood." She shakes her head and continues, "The Chagur say a great warrior of the Khamur murdered a daughter of the wisest seer among the tribe at the time, driving him to suicide and robbing the Chagur of his wisdom. Whether it is true or not, the crime echoed through the generations in their stories, up to the near annihilation of both tribes at the Plains of Grief. For most Nomads, the old hatred is now a historic curiosity; a warning for what will happen if we abandon the teachings of Kir."

	'''D'Reathor'''		'''D'Reathor'''
	:Cherulisa says, "The peace maker came from them, but they still embrace a harsh stoicism that the Sophisters might enjoy. The image of a warrior Nomad, spear in hand and dire magic on their lips, comes from the D'Reathor. Be it war, in in their vision tents, or in supporting Kir's vision of peace, they are said to have done nothing by half measure."		:Cherulisa says, "The peace maker came from them, but they still embrace a harsh stoicism that the Sophisters might enjoy.

			'''Khamur'''
			:Cherulisa says, "Too much drama and too much blood." She shakes her head and continues, "The Khamur claim that a bitter and ill-mannered Chagur slew the daughter and only child of their chieftain for rejecting his advances. Whether it is true or not, the crime echoed through the generations in their stories, ending with the near annihilation of both tribes at the Plains of Grief. For most Nomads, the old hatred is now a historic curiosity; a warning for what will happen if we abandon the teachings of Kir."

			'''Nera'''
			:Cherulisa says, "Many years after the tribes had formed, the ragged Nera came to the steppe and adapted to life here. Wherever they came from, they brought the knowledge of Lunar enchanting with them. It was crude by modern standards, but unlike anything the tribes of that day had seen. The Nera traded knowledge and labor for their survival in those harsh days before Kir's peace."

	'''~~Tribes~~'''		'''Skindancers'''

Our lives are often played out beneath the moons, without even a yurt to protect us from the harsh weather of the steppe. We commune with the spirits through our wandering."

			'''Trabe'''
			:Cherulisa says, "Had the D'Reathor of the past been a little less violent, there are many things we may have known. I would've liked to have known a Trabe and asked them about the shaping of this crystal spire. But there are no more Trabe, merely children of the D'Reathor who have stolen their name."

			==Introduction Speech==

			Cherulisa gestures around the room and says, "The spire of the Trabe is a symbol of the Moon Mage Guild. We climb as high as we dare to touch the stars. Our enchantments create strange and wondrous things, and our past is filled with grief."
			She continues, "We walk under the moons, facing the world with magic and foresight in place of the swords of the Barbarians and the spears of our past. A Moon Mage must journey through the shadows, but always brings with her the light of knowledge into the dark places."

			Cherulisa says to you, "If you have come here to learn the art of the shamans of the steppe and the Moon Mage Guild, ask to JOIN the guild so that we may begin your education."

			Cherulisa looks into your eyes and says, "The spirits say you have potential, and I agree with them in this, but you must also show conviction. Take a moment to think about the path in front of you, and ask to JOIN again if you are certain."

			Cherulisa smiles brightly and says, "You have come far to train under the shamans of the steppe, and you will not find us lacking. We will begin immediately."

			For several weeks you study the lore of the Moon Mage Guild with Cherulisa in her spire and around campfires on the Arid Steppe. You are taught the fundamentals of Lunar magic and your senses seem to grow sharper as you begin to practice divination.

			Cherulisa says, "You have done well. Soon you will begin your great journey in earnest, but before you leave I will to speak to you of a few things."

			Cherulisa says, "Moon Mages find solace beneath the moons and starlight. There are many that say we walk in darkness, that our hearts are cold and our mysteries unnatural. They do not know the truth: a Moon Mage brings light into the darkness, just as the stars pierce the veil of night. Never forget this truth, and never let the light of your knowledge dim."

			Cherulisa walks to a window and pulls its curtain aside, gesturing to the sky as a gust of frigid wind sweeps in, "The spirits speak to all Moon Mages, giving us wisdom beyond our years and beyond now. They speak to us through the moons, the sun, and the multitude of stars above us. You would do well to listen."

			Letting the curtain fall closed again, she continues, "A faint sense of the spirits is always with you, granting you a clarity of sight and sensation others lack. Yet to gain deeper knowledge, you must observe the movement of the heavens. You may start with the three moons and the sun, and later you will be taught to touch the future through the stars. After you have observed one of these heavenly objects, you may predict upon the future and let the spirits guide your thoughts."

			Cherulisa pulls a thick vellum book out from a pile of furs and thumps the cover. She says, "But there is more to life than the heavens! In memory of Kir, I do not teach the arts of the spear and war, but we are the unquestioned masters of Lunar magic. With the aid of the spirits, we teach the bizarre geometry of teleportation spells, the manipulation of light and shadow, clairvoyance and yet stranger magic. In memory of Kir we laid down our spears, but a wise and learned Moon Mage is never defenseless."

			She continues, "When you have traveled much further along your journey, more advanced pursuits will be open to you. Many Moon Mages learn the art of the sigils, using astrological knowledge and Lunar energy to create magical devices. Others fancy themselves as masters of the planes, walking down paths that twist in ways you cannot now imagine, to catch a glimpse at the heart of the universe."

			Cherulisa's eyes glaze over for a moment. When she recovers, she chuckles and says, "I am told I speak of things too far into the future, and this I know is true. It is time for you start your journey. Return to me or another Guildleader and ask about your advancement when you believe you are ready to learn more."

			Cherulisa says, "Finally, a Moon Mage of your new standing has a right to learn more of the magic of our guild. Speak to me about it later, and we will find something new for you to learn."
