Yapai Tribe

The Yapai are a tribe that lives high up in the mountainous regions to the southeast of the Rahori Nation. They are hated enemies with a tribe of Goliath that live in the higher peaks. They call themselves the People of the Sun. There are more clerics in the Yapai than any of the other tribes. They worship the God of the Sun, Jo'ha'nae'io. Within their lands live the Sky Elves, or Sunspeakers, which are considered holy representatives of Jo'ha'nae'io.

In contrast to most people of southern Jord the Yapai people have fair skin and light colored hair. They typically wear garments made of grass and hide, decorated with feathers and talismans depicting the sun. Large hawks and eagles are kept by the tribe to act as lookouts and hunting companions. The most powerful and honored warriors of the tribe guard the tribe's cliff dwellings and expansive fields of grain atop great golden rocs.
