((This is a "recruitment post for the Kirvel Tribe of the Subudai.I will accept anyone if they meet 2 conditions.First,those who wish to join must be good roleplayers and posses knowledge of the Tribe's and Subudai's lore.Second,you must be active and remain with the tribe,not go away after three days.If anyone wishes to join,write an RP response in thread or send me a PM about it.Thank you.

Some lore,copied from the Subudai thread:

In this tribe,the Syrmatae would have less power and influence then in the other Kotans,due to the presence of a council,which is made of all the most prominent Kotansmani in the Kotan.The Syrmatae would consult the council if any decision was to be made.The decisions that wall in that are:Would the Kotan establish relations with that settlement,would they raid if presented with enough reasons,and so on, but he/she(the Syrmatae) will always lead the caravans,a representative of his tribe with the Khagan,and would lead in skirmishes,raids and his/hers word is always respected.He also tends to the daily activities of his fellow Kotansmani.When the Syrmatae dies,the Kotansmani choose,in a democratic fashion,who shall be the next Syrmatae.

The culture of this Kotan is a bit different than usual.This Kotan is more peaceful then the rest,but would still engage in conflict if the presumed target has done any harm to any Kotansmani of this tribe,or any other Subudai.The Kotansmani would welcome all travelers,sit around with them by the campfire,trade food,stories...They prefer to stay in one place,only moving if it's critical,but will always move if the Khagan says so. They also hold feasts,called Drevlas,which are held once a year,in a certain time of the year when the stars are at a certain place at a certainmoment.It's an evening spent in singing,eating,drinking...

In battle,the Kotansmani of this tribe mainly use melee weapons,such as axes and swords,and most of them dislike using a bow and arrow,but have respect for the skilled archers of the other tribes.Each man and woman is expected to fight,and also be skilled in at least another craft such as :farming,collecting wood,and in rare cases,mining and smithing.The Kotansmani are usually bright skinned and haired,though there are a few exceptions.They are also higher then the Kotansmani of their fellow Kotans.
