Fallen Tribe

The Fallen Tribe, once known as the Moon Tribe, are a Nomadic Tribe that follows a self-imposed penitence for previous crimes of the tribe. Once followers of Luna, the Moon Tribe was systematically targeted by the Kingdom of Gratia, and lost almost all of its established territory. Under the command of a particularly passionate young warrior, almost the entire tribe turned to worship of Olta. In five days, they destroyed five distinct Gratian colonies, leaving no survivors and burning what they could not take. According to their oral history, Their chieftain soon saw this as wrong, and with the aid of several others, set out to stop the carnage. On the dawn of the sixth day, they opposed the raiders, and it is said that the young warrior's rage and blood lust were so strong that Olta's gifts struck down the chieftain's entire band before a single weapon drew blood. With his body ravaged by the massive burst of divine power, the young warrior fell to the ground, weeping. He denounced Olta on the spot, and rode into town repentant. he bade the tribe give up all they had taken and all they had themselves, leaving the city without even clothes on their backs. The Moon Tribe died, and the Fallen Tribe was born. Although newborns within the Fallen Tribe are considered without sin, it is believed that their capacity for such is great. Any time a member of the Fallen Tribe raises their hand against another, even to protect themselves, they must visibly mar their own bodies, typically scarring their face. The Fallen Tribe wanders directly through civilization centers, and work what jobs are available there, as they believe they are not worthy of the dignity that other tribes hold.
