Background

Gameplay

Military

The Crazy horns begin with five divisions, all being Crazy Horns Bands.

Conscription Law

While the tribes have always had groups of wariors and pathfinders, the rest of the tribe was free to work on diferent projects, the coming war has forced more and more tribesmen to abandon their jobs and enter the warior caste, the tribes economy and culture suffers.

As per our tribe's tradition, we must assure only our warrior class ever set foot outside of our villages. The wasteland is a cruel place, full of horrible creatures and savages. We must take extreme precaution in deploying our people, and so only warriors trained from birth may earn the honour of waging war for the tribe.

While it may be a mistake to break ancient tradition, we should consider increasing our fielded manpower.

While it is deeply unsettling to resort to such measures, we must now force a general conscription on every first son and daughter of fighting age of every tribe member. It is a harsh decision not taken lightly, and we shall make sure to use them for a higher purpose.

The bloodthirsty savages are at our door. We are facing nothing less than the total annihilation of our way of life, as well as every member of our noble tribe. May our gods forgive us for what we will do, but we have no other choice than to send everyone into the fight, be them children barely able to swing a knife or their mother trying to protect them. The least we can do is deploy them together. May They have mercy upon our sinful souls, for our consciences will have none.

  1. Loonybinjin: "Canonically both the Tar Walkers and Crazy Horns died fighting the White Legs under his command. Extinct through his leadership. To quote Daniel on it.

    "We lost the Tar Walkers. And the Crazy Horns. We did our best, but we made mistakes. We paid for them, but they paid more." Basically extinct tribes."
