from A Brief History of the Guild of Moon Magic by Kssarh T'kinnirii, Apprentice to Guildmaster Tiv

Nomads of the Arid Steppe, the Skindancers were potent shamans who employed spirit invocation, myth and trances born of both ecstasy and pain to enter the netherworld and touch the future. They were well-known for developing the use of enchanted bones -- often stripped from the body of a fallen enemy -- to aid in divination.

An ancient shaman leans forward and speaks to you about this sect. "There is an inherent beauty in nature. Beauty is found within the swirling skies above our heads, the earthen land beneath our feet, the running deer and foxes in the woods, the sweeping waves of a wind-swept lake, and the eternity of the stars. It is this truth that we, as Nomads of the Arid Steppe, pass down to our children in our storytelling cessions, so that each generation knows of all the previous ones. In this way, We preserve our cultural identity."

Our kinship with nature beneath the stars and moons guides us, as we follow the hunting across the steppes and tundra. Our ancestors were the first to rely on fate to tell us how to survive in unity with nature, but there came a warring time, when all the different tribes fought. The spirits send us a leader, and he united us To this day, We follow the creed he established, taking what we need from the land, and not salling up arms unless the reasons are just.
