(Created page with "Muskshir is a loose federation of several tribes that inhabit the stretch of jungle between the Great Chasm and the eastern sea. It has humid springs, monsoon summers that can reliably be predicted, dry falls, and mild, rainy winters. Some of the tribes in Muskshir are nomadic, moving from region to region with the change of the seasons. Most tribes are more or less stationary.

Tribal leaders are generally hereditary, with the eldest child of the leader becoming the new tribal leader when their parent passes on.

Believed to be an incarnation of Amazonia herself, the Muskshiri revere this tree as sacred. When two or more tribal leaders seek to peacefully resolve a dispute, they do so under the World- Tree’s shade. The leaders hold their councils under the World-Tree as well, believing that Amazonia’s wisdom will [[guide]] their negotiations. If someone were to dig into the earth and follow the impossibly deep roots of this mighty tree, they would discover that it is truthfully an offshoot of the even larger World-Tree in [[Doshairiel]], thousands of miles away. High in this World-Tree’s branches, climbers might find aportal to the Everwilds. | ||
