====== Blue Fist Tribe ======

The **Blue Fist Tribe** is a small tribe of goblins whose territory falls completely within the boundaries of the [[atlas:V'eand]] range. The goblins claimed the territory long before the [[creatures:rathari]] arrived, but after some initial battles a peace was arranged. The tribe has flourished and conquered many of the other goblin tribes in the area.

===== History =====




===== Racial and Ethnic Groups =====

The Blue First Tribe is a ethnically closed culture within [[atlas:V'eand]] consisting of only three ethnicities, the [[#Blue Fist]], [[#Haggarites]], and [[#Stonestompers]].

==== Blue Fist ====

The most prominent culture comprising over 85% of the population. The Blue Fist control all major decisions with their culture. They are the most likely to be seen outside of their homeland. They worship Techiuan and hold to the custom of honoring their ancestors.

==== Haggarites ====

A religious community who have broken away from the worship of Techiuan and instead believe in the [[orgs:Five Gods]] as brought to they by [[orgs:Theodovans|Theodovan]] missionaries. Haggarites are peaceful followers of their religion and in most things preferring to live in their own community.


==== Stonestompers ====

The largest goblin tribe the Blue Fist conquered, the Stonestompers numbered six-thousand (6,000) before their war with the Blue Fist. They comprise less that 2,000 currently. Unlike the Blue Fist who worshiped Techiuan, the Stonestompers worshiped [[lore:Wǎk]] who was lord of [[creatures:demon|demons]]. They maintain this religion even among the Blue Fist regardless of it making them outsiders.


===== Culture =====

The culture of the Blue Fist is heavily influenced by its soft conquest by the [[creatures:rathari]]. Their conquest spurred advancement in the art of war, animal husbandry, and agriculture. Borrowing heavily from the nearby [[orgs:Theodovans]] and [[orgs:Sunna]] the goblins cleared acres of forest to plant grains and vegetables.

While most of the goblin tribes in this area raided each other for supplies, mates, children, and goods. The Blue Fist tribes mocked the nearby cultures and built a crude soldiery. These disciplined soldiers proved the difference between raiding and conquest.
