Government: A council of elders often makes decisions when Onheil isn't present. Though when he is they head his every word. 

Military is made up of the men of the Ebir. They often wear the bones of the fallen warriors, to spread fear through out the enemy ranks. They work in two groups, the Lancers and Archers. The military is incredibly fluid while on horse back, and can often move as a near single entity. 

Lancers are equipped with twelve foot lances, leather armor, and helms made from the bones of their enemies. They carry short swords and knives as well. Their horses have the bones of their enemy as well included into their armor. Sometimes they use the skulls of stags or other animals to make mock helms for the horses. 

The archers wield re-curved long bows, and are incredible shots from horse back as well as foot. They have short swords and knives as well. They wear padded armor as well as leather vambraces. They frequently incorporate enemies skulls, rib cages arms, legs, and back bones into the armor on their horses. As is tradition. 

The culture of the Ebir is to survive the harsh winters, the terrible summer storms. But to also celebrate life because all beings are important. They believe that each animal killed, or enemy slain brings them closer to their God King Onhiel. They have large festivals in the fall, and spring. The fall for the coming of winter to show their loyalty to Onhiel, and the spring to thank him for their survival. 

They often sacrifice the blood of stags, and their enemies to Onhiel as well as pray to him often for guidance.
