View source for Deindites

The '''Deindites''' are a nomadic Alphite tribe of rangers, smiths, and peacekeepers.

== Visual ==
Ninja/ranger types — think Aragorn from Lord of the Rings. Highly mobile, use ropes and daggers, maintain concealed weaponry. Grey/black color tones with red accents.

== Environment ==
Primarily deep forest and mountainous regions (evergreens and the Rockies in the western US, or Appalachia in the eastern US). Nomadic, but maintain a main castle. Use teepees/large tents established in a region and taken down when they move.

== Specialty ==
Weaponry and smithing of tools; creo gamekeeper types. Serve as overworld peacekeepers, hired to capture fugitives and maintain diplomacy.

== Politics ==
=== External ===
Trade in weapons, tools, and gear. Inventive smiths with occasional minor tech developments. Diplomatic with all other major tribes but hold no full allegiance.

=== Internal ===
Matriarchal tribe with a wise woman heading a council of women. Both men and women serve as rangers — women more in a stealth/assassin role, men more in a ranger role.

== Tribe Dynamics ==
Small nomadic families move from region to region based on requests from other tribes.

== Lore ==
A small group went through the original portal with the Azurites (as mentioned in the EC2 base).
