  A primitive race that does whatever they can as a society to remain secluded in the deep forests, high mountain ranges, and farthest unexplored plains. When the need arises, they will uproot and relocate to a new location if it is in the tribes best interest. Some tribes are more nomadic than others depending on the curiosity of the surrounding populace. Moks live in simple huts and often build long houses used for meetings, feasts, worship, ceremonies, celebrations, and smaller versions used for store houses. Each tribe has it's own Chieftain, Shaman, High Priest, a Champion Warrior, and a group of Elders who help advise the Chieftain. Every individual within a tribe is important in the tribes survival in one way or another. There are weavers, wood crafters, leather workers, farmers, teachers, hunters, scouts, animal handlers, butchers, servants, cooks, gatherers, fishermen, trappers, herbalists, miners, workers of stone, black smiths, and guards.

 Moks are good natured, loving parents, stout guards, fearless warriors, exquisite hunters, quick learners, agile climbers, and light footed  for their size. Family units are cherished by the Mok people. Time spent with their families is very important and they spend as much time together as possible. When a Mok takes a mate it is for life. This life bond remains even if one partner passes away. The reason a widow does not remarry is because the Moks believe they will be reunited with their life mate when their time on this plane ends. As previously mentioned, the Chieftain makes the decisions for the tribe. The Chieftain and his Elders hold the survival of their race and its secrecy as the tribes Prime Directive. When adventurers, explorers, or those who have lost themselves from the world, stumble upon a Mok or an entire tribe, they are met with fearsome hostility. The Moks will do everything within their means to scare off the interlopers. Very few have laid eyes upon a "wild Mok". Even fewer have lived to tell tales about the wild lion-like men.

 To the dismay of some tribal Chieftains, some of the curious youth develop a insatiable thirst for exploration and adventure. The Elders have a name for the feeling that takes hold of a Mok's mind in such a way, "The Calling".These Mok's are cast out into the world before they are able to poison the minds of others. they are exiled for eternity and may never reunite with their people even in death. There are not many in the world and they tend to seek out companions, learn their languages, customs, and form life bonds with the one's they refer to as "ReeHaa", Family.
