Historical background

Politics

National spirits

The Haida Confederation starts with two national spirits:

The Raven and the Eagle icon
The Raven and the Eagle
  • Resource Gain Efficiency: +8.00%
  • Monthly Population: +12.0%
  • Stability: +6.00%
Haida social life is broadly split by two moieties: the Raven and the Eagle. A family's moiety dictates which side of a village they live on, the history they are taught, and where they fish. Despite the differences between the two groups, both would be united within families, providing a strong sense of unity between the two.
Whaling Chiefs icon

  • Spotting Speed: +7%
  • Number of ships in the first contact: +7%
  • Passive Caps Income: 12.0
Hunting for whales has long been part of Hiada's economy for millennia, ever since their distant relatives first reached the Pacific Northwest. Whaling Chiefs ('haw’iih') hold economic and social power within the Nation, and successful chiefs command great reverence for their successes on hunting expeditions. According to ancient traditions, these Whaling Chiefs can even connect to Whales in the spirit world, allowing them to be located and hunted.


Behind the scenes
