Born into the vast, open expanses of the Abanasinian Plains, you are a descendant of the proud nomadic tribes that once roamed the lands of Ergoth. The plains have shaped your identity, instilling in you the resilience and adaptability needed to survive in a world that has often been unkind to your people. The four great tribes—Qué-Shu, Qué-Kiri, Qué-Teh, and Qué-Nal—each carry their own traditions and stories, but all share a deep connection to the land and a fierce loyalty to one another.

In the years following the Cataclysm and the devastation of the War of the Lance, your people faced countless challenges. Yet, under the guidance of heroic figures like Riverwind and Goldmoon, you witnessed a unification that brought your tribes together, teaching you the importance of cooperation and understanding beyond the borders of your homeland. Now, as your tribe navigates the changing world, you carry the legacy of your ancestors with you, embodying the spirit of freedom and a commitment to harmony with nature.

Your journey is one of exploration and self-discovery, as you strive to honor the traditions of your people while forging new paths in a rapidly changing landscape. With each step you take across the plains, you seek to bridge the gap between your nomadic heritage and the challenges of the wider world, ensuring that the stories of your tribe endure for generations to come.
