[@Sonnenschein] I have some questions about the dairy kingdom!

I really like that they're a peaceful people (I envision my characters being very pacifist and mediating types), but they must still have some martial tradition in case of inevitable conflict, right? If not a formal military, maybe guards for the Grand Oracle and her priestesses? I ask because I like the idea of perhaps a performance art that can be used as a method of battle if the need arises, and a source of entertainment (or distraction for pickpocketing, as your description says) otherwise. That's the sort of role I'm envisioning for my male character anyway, like a performer/guard combo. 

Is there much to be told about their culture? I'm loving the nomadic bohemian vibe I'm getting from them and would love to know more. Also, what's marriage like among the Ilepia? I keep imagining that women take multiple husbands, but I have no idea if that's accurate xD
