And from there it tends to fall on most experienced to least experienced in terms of leadership, with those that have had more experience being looked to by the younger for direction. [h3]Geography[/h3] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/huB5vFv.jpg?1[/img][/center] [url=https://i.imgur.com/Prwfc4k.png]Kitini Tribes Map[/url] The Jungles of the Kitini tribes, are thick, the growth on the ground making it difficult to walk if you do not know the paths, the trees reach up into the skies, grabbing for them, and the land is littered with ruins of ancient cultures, and that of the primordials, and the mark that they left on the land is clearly evident with the tremendous amount of unique creatures within the jungles, and the incredibly deadly ones, not knowing how to avoid these beasts can bring about the death of many a soldier, or adventurer. For some the benefits outweigh the risks, the stories of treasures, immortality, and magical medicines that can cure any disease driving people to seek out the jungles of the Kitini tribes, those that return do so with stories of fantastic monsters and dangerous warrior women, and beautiful rivers, and fauna.

[h3]Culture[/h3] The culture surrounding the Kitini tribes is one of ritual, and religion. They worship the Primordials as Gods, because without their focal Goddess they would not exist, so their day to day life tends to revolve around this, and keep the secrets of their jungle, through force. Their society is one of warriors, each member of the Kitini tribes is trained to fight in melee, and ranged combat, though some are also capable of magical feats.They believe in the idea of “Eye for an eye” which can be seen when they are raided, and in turn they will raid the offending country as well. Other than this they seek their entertainment in the forms of wrestling, races, and retelling old stories of their people. They all no matter what tribe consider each other sisters, and when in need of intimate relationships seek out those that best mesh with their own personalities, though they have had intimacy with outsiders, those who return to speak of said relationships often say it was “the best they have ever partaken in, but it was terribly frightening” due to the aggressive nature of the Kitini Tribeswomen.

[h3]History[/h3] The Kitiini tribes have been around since the time of legends, over the years they have never really changed, always staying primitive, always with the same weapons, and never growing their society beyond that of the a series of tribes that skirmish and war amongst each other in petty ways. This was until a sudden complete annihilation of their entire population, however the birthing pool from which they were born was not destroyed. Soon the jungles were repopulated by Kitini tribeswomen once more, but they were without the guidance of their predecessors, they lacked the animosity that had existed before, and this time when the tribes were made they drew understandings between one another, learned to co-exist better than before, they created rules and laws, and gave power to a Main chieftess that would lead them, and settle disputes. Now they worship, and work, and fight against those who would invade their domain, waiting for their destiny, waiting for the Gods to return and give them purpose.

[h3]Biology[/h3] The Kitini Tribeswomen’s biology is an interesting one, even from the point of being created, they’re born from magic. To further explain, a Primordial, large roughly forty feet tall died in the place that is now known as the “birthing pool”, what was left of her body was petrified, her reproductive region becoming a cave of sorts, though over time a body of water soon had stream running into the cave, this combined with the magic of the dead Primordial began birthing what is now known as the Kitini tribes. Now due to this fact, the Kitini Tribeswomen do not actually reproduce being that they lack the actual organs capable of producing eggs for a child. Further when a Kitini woman is born from the pool they are created to be approximately 10 years of age, and within a year have matured to 25 at which point they stop aging. Their entire lifespan runs roughly 100 years, their bodies growing grayer as they grow older, until eventually at around 100 years they turn to stone. Their blood is different from other races, purple in color, and sought after by many due to the panacea effect it has on other races when ingested, it however does not work on the Kitini women themselves.
