Hunters

Astra looked at the number, and guessed that this was one of the tribes of the Dunchovians. The Dunchovians were hunters that pitched a camp in the winter and followed herds of antelope in the summer and hunted. Relations between Aqualaria and the Dunchovians were generally good. The Dunchovians, despite a rough life spent on the move, had a reputation as being a gentle and hospitable people. As was usual in Ryngaerder culture, the women rode with the men, and knew how to shoot from horseback as well. These tribes knew which rivers marked the boundary of Aqualaria and gave the powerful Matriarchy a healthy respect. Dunchovian leather was highly prized throughout the Ryngaerd and even in lands beyond.

There was one mystery. Astra could not see any large herds of antelope. What was this tribe seeking?

Astra decided to

1. try to get the attention of the tribe.
2. plot a course the would take her away from the tribe.
3. stand still and see how the tribe would react.
