 === G'huis === === G'huis ===
  
-The Y'bome share a small northeastern border with G'​huis. They have fought several wars with the Y'bome destroying those soldiers sent against them. This history of animosity and distrust means very little trade or communication passes between these two ranges.+The Y'bome share a small northeastern border with [[atlas:G'huis]]. They have fought several wars with the Y'bome destroying those soldiers sent against them. This history of animosity and distrust means very little trade or communication passes between these two ranges.
  
 === V'eand === === V'eand ===
  
 +The [[atlas:​V'​eand]] are far less expansive that G'​huis,​ but that does not change the fact that Y'bome shares a much larger border with them. Tensions have arisen where both ranges claim the same territory, but it has only led to brief skirmishes. Both ranges being threatened by a much larger neighbor has calmed any dispute from flaring out of control. Most of Y'​bome'​s trade flows through V'​eand. Many of V'​eands most accomplished philosophers and scholars make treks into the mountains for religious studies. //The Wind// is still the overwhelming belief of the rathari of V'​eand;​ although some of its tenants have changed over the centuries.
 +
 +
 +=== Sithara ===
 +
 +Across the mountains lie [[atlas:​Sithara]],​ the lands of the [[creatures:​Shoag]]. There is little direct contact because the shoag do not venture into the mountains and the range claims no lands east of the peak. There have been trades as both sides respect leaving the other side alone. These trades usually involve one or more family heads traveling to one of the shaog tribes and trading goods and information.
  
  
 ==== Military ==== ==== Military ====
  
 +Each family is expected to defend its entire territory. Given that most of the families have created larger ties by pairing off sons and daughters a complex social network of mutual defense has arisen. None of the families maintain a standing force of soldiery as with other lands, but instead rely on defensive guerilla tactics. The rathari of Y'bome have no interest in conquering more lands for their range as there are plenty of unclaimed land among the peaks. The mountains and their knowledge of its land and winds means that any military force that moves against them will do so at a significant disadvantage.
  
  
 ===== Economy ===== ===== Economy =====
 +
 +There is no economy as understood among other nations. Each family is expected to tend to its own needs in regards to food, water, and shelter. The families often trade among themselves and the wide relationship of cousins means that only a osterized family is left alone in times of trouble. Bartering and communal efforts are the basis of the economy and as //The Wind// speaks it shall remain.
 +
 +There is trade that flows to the V'eand but this is very small and only for specific goods. A family might trade a cart of hides for thirty steel knives, but then not trade again for a decade or more. Trade with other is simply a means to get one thing that is needed. There is no understanding of a continuous flow of trade goods passing between the ysh'​nan and others.

 ==== Language ==== ==== Language ====
 +
 +The ysh'​nan speak ratharian with an accent so think that even other rathari have difficulties understanding them fully. The ysh'​nan claim their language is the blessing of //The Wind// and have no need to change things just to speak with other people.
  
  
 ==== Religion ==== ==== Religion ====
 +
 +The ysh'​nan worship [[orgs:The Wind]] and all other beliefs are considered heretical. Those caught worshiping outside of the strict beliefs will be driven out of the range. In reality there are discussions and disagreements among the highly religious ysh'​nan as to the exact nature and meaning of their oral traditions, but while these disagreements can become over-heated each side respects the other is only seeking greater enlightenment.
 +
 +Those rathari who proclaim themselves to others will be crucified. Non-rathari will simply be driven out by force.
 +
  
 ==== Magic ==== ==== Magic ====
 +
 +Any magic outside of //The Wind// is heretical and cause for drowning. The ysh'​nan may tolerate it among non-rathari that are permitted on their range as long as they harm nothing and none while they are guests. //The Wind// is believed to be Aesir whose touch is both loving and demanding. Those who seek obedience within her shall always have her blessing. Those who can wield magic are held to both a higher standard and in deep regard. For those truly powerful magicians among the ysh'​nan they achieve a near legendary status.
  
  
 ===== Culture ===== ===== Culture =====
 +
 +The ysh'​nan of Y'bome are isolationist but not unaware of what goes on outside their range. They represent a religious minority among all rathari on [[atlas:​Aquanius]]. They believe themselves to be the only followers of the true history of their people - blessed among the sheep. There is a growing sense of anger at the outsiders that have tempted their cousins away from the strength of family and //The Wind//, but that has only caused them to turn others away. To stop the corruption at the borders of their range.
